Summary

Fifth-graders from Bond Elementary presented research on their school's history and founders to the Leon County School Board, joined by principal Delsona Jackson and sponsor Hilda Jackson; board members praised the students and invited them for a photo onstage.

Bond Elementary fifth-graders presented a researched program about their school's history during the Leon County School Board meeting in March 2025. Two students, introduced by student board member Tullovan Itier, led the Pledge of Allegiance and offered a thought for the day: "Make yourself your own competition. Strive to be better than yesterday." The students credited support from the Florida Civil Rights Museum for help developing their scripts.

Principal Delsona Jackson and Beta Club sponsor Hilda Jackson described the National Junior Beta Club's focus on achievement, character, leadership and service and noted the club's GPA requirement. Students recounted historical details about early principals and local figures, including Lillian E. Spencer and Dr. Henry Lewis, and the presentation highlighted the school's origins and community role.

Board members responded with praise for the students' preparation and poise. The superintendent and several trustees thanked the students and staff and invited the Beta Club and sponsors to the dais for photographs. The board's recognition underscored the district's public‑facing spotlights on school-level achievement.
