State Representative Dorothie Grace G.
“It’s okay if you look different. It’s okay if you act different. It’s okay if your interests lie in a different place. The main thing is that if you be kind and love one another, you as a community and you as a school, you as a friend group; us as a nation can Be Strong together.”
-Dorothie Grace
Why Dorothie Grace was Nominated:
Grace is a kind and compassionate student who leads by example in all areas. As a teacher at Vilonia High School, I feel that our school (and district) really struggles with promoting an inclusive environment. I think that this student led movement would be so helpful in creating that culture in our district and community. I would like to sponsor this in my school, and I think Grace would be a perfect fit to lead the group.
