Did you know that these ladies feed over 800 meals a day and do it with a smile? They have unparalleled energy, spunk, and charisma. Last week for our Thanksgiving feast, they served 1,088 Thanksgiving meals! Talk about teamwork! We are thankful they are part of our NDUE family.
Without our enrichment team orchestrating all the fun, we could not host our community in the scale we do. They are known as the ultimate party planners but they are powerhouses in their classrooms as well. No one can motivate students to read like Mrs. Burback, hold students accountable for learning while keeping science fun like Mrs. Beeman, develop fine motor skills and a love of art like Mrs. Fontenot or support of love for sports and staying active like Mrs. Loupe and Mrs. McClain. This team makes our world a happier place and we are so grateful for them!
It’s election day!

While the Bond funds are largely focused on a new high school facility, the impact would be felt across all North DeSoto schools. High school students would have a future-focused learning environment, middle school students would have amazing lab and career spaces by moving into the current high school, elementary students would see smaller class sizes and get more one-on-one time with teachers, and the three- and four-year-old PreK programs would be able to accommodate more young learners instead of having a waitlist.

How are current spaces impacting the school day?
The communities served by North DeSoto schools have seen tremendous growth in recent years. The current North DeSoto Lower Elementary facility originally served grades K-6 and now houses preK-1. North DeSoto Upper Elementary has grown from four classes per grade level to ten. We are proud to serve every student in our schools, but we are simply running out of space. Hallways are crowded, we struggle to accommodate activities, and class sizes are higher than the rest of the parish due to space constraints. The bond proposal proposes a new high school facility, giving the capacity to reconfigure current spaces to meet the needs of the growing community.
