This research focuses on the commemoration of National Education Day (Hardiknas) on May 2, 2026, at SD Negeri 81 Palembang, as a strategic tool for instilling nationalistic values in elementary school students from an early age. The activity involved all Field Training Program (PLP) students as ceremony officers and chaperones for a fashion show competition, attended by representatives from grades I through V, with each class sending ten participants. The activity was not merely ceremonial but also contained an educational dimension aimed at fostering a love for the homeland, appreciation for the contributions of national education figures, and an understanding of the importance of unity within Indonesia's cultural diversity. Throughout the planning and evaluation process, PLP students served as facilitators, motivators, and role models, fostering discipline, order, and responsibility. This involvement positively contributed to the development of students' nationalistic character through contextual and participatory learning experiences within the school environment.
