Several Arkansas educators are receiving awards for their work.
Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders toured Arkansas schools with representatives from The Milken Family Foundation on Wednesday. The nonprofit gives money to teachers across the country for their work. On their website, the group calls Milken Educator Awards the “Oscars” of teaching awards.
Philanthropist Lowell Milken created the awards in the 1980s and has been giving them out across the country ever since.

The Milken Educator Awards were handed out to three Arkansas teachers from around the state, including to Greenbrier Middle School teacher Ashley Anderson.
