When Carlton Palmore Elementary School and the community come together, beautiful things happen. Thank you to Mrs. SanDee Jakubik, one of our Pre-K teachers, and her husband for organizing this special event with Deputy Terry J. Storie and Sergeant Wozniak.
We believe in making dreams come true here in Polk County!

Dream big, Merrick! It was wonderful getting to know you, your teachers, and your family this week.
A huge “Thank you” goes out to the Polk County Sheriff’s Office for “Deputizing” one of our students Merrick Loyd!
Merrick has spent the last 6 months going through radiation and chemotherapy to fight cancer. He shared with his family that he wanted to be a sheriff one day. The Polk County Sheriff’s Office made it happen and both Merrick’s Pre-K teachers, Mrs. Jakubik and Mrs. Angela Oxley were able to attend this heartwarming event.
The Polk County Sheriff’s Office went above and beyond to show Merrick a wonderful day by making him an “Honorary Deputy”!
He even looked the part as they had a uniform made for Merrick to wear for his special day; they honored him with a plaque, and a backpack full of gifts. He was excited to meet Sheriff Grady Judd, the 911 Dispatchers, and the Polk County SWAT Team!
Thank you Polk County Sheriff’s office for your generosity and for making one of our student’s dreams come true! You are the BEST!
