Pleasant Acre Day School students stand in front of their school building in Liberty Park in Natchez. The school opened in 1959 at the same location. The school operates a Mardi Gras bead store and their Some-N-Special Shop to give the students work experience and the opportunity to interact with the public. Pictured, front row, from left, are Sarah Cichirillo, Danny Clark, an original student at the school, Ginny Killealea, Ashlynn Jordan, Amy Cichirillo and Allen Cornell; back row, Susan Ellis, teacher Judy Grimsley, Thomas Cupit, Director Mary Ann Foggo-Eidt and Kelly Clary.
