AISD Employee Elizabeth Polk Retires After 55 Years

Even the cake was purple as a long-time librarian, leader, mentor and friend Elizabeth Polk wrapped a feathered purple scarf around her neck to match the decorations at the ALC gym. Colleagues, friends, and family gathered to celebrate her retirement after serving the district for 55 years.
 
Cheers echoed in the gym as the 82-year-old woman walked to the stage to express her excitement.
 
"This is a great surprise," Polk said. "They told me to wear purple, but all I had was a feathered scarf and this bracelet."
