Our sophomores recently visited Ochsner Medical Center for a Sudden Impact presentation focused on the dangers and life-changing consequences of impaired driving.
Students heard from Mrs. Amy Reeves, State Trooper Thomas, and family members who have been personally affected by DWI incidents. They also toured the Emergency Department and had the opportunity to see two patients hospitalized as a result of DWI-related incidents.
This eye-opening experience gave students a firsthand look at how one poor decision can impact not only their own lives but also the lives of their families and others.
A special thank you to Ochsner Medical Center, Louisiana State Police, and all of the presenters and families who shared their experiences to help educate our students and encourage responsible decisions behind the wheel! 💙🖤

Panther Fans! Mark your calendars and come show your spirit at the annual Homecoming Pep Rally & Presentation of the Court!

🔎🌳 Kindergarten Explorers at Work! 🌳🔎
Mrs. Loftin’s kindergarten class took learning outside today! We have been learning about natural resources and man-made resources, so our little explorers grabbed their clipboards and headed around campus for a scavenger hunt to see what they could find! 🌿🏫
They observed, searched, talked with friends, and recorded their discoveries along the way. There’s nothing better than taking what we’re learning in the classroom and experiencing it in the real world! 💙
Learning is an adventure in kindergarten! 🥰🔎🌎

🧸☎️ Toys Then & Now! ☎️🧸
We’ve been taking a trip back to the “olden days” in Mrs. Loftin’s kindergarten class! ❤️
As part of our study of toys from long ago and toys today, we learned that children didn’t always have tablets, electronic toys, or a toy aisle full of choices. Sometimes the very best toys were the ones they made themselves!
So, of course, we had to try it too! 🥰
We made our own cup-and-string telephones and discovered that something as simple as two cups and a piece of string can actually carry sound! ☎️👂 We talked, listened, experimented, and had LOTS of conversations through our homemade phones. 😂
Then we put our imaginations to work and became toy inventors, using simple materials to design and create toys of our very own—just like children have done for generations. ✂️📦🧵
Along the way, we learned a pretty important kindergarten lesson: a toy doesn’t need batteries, a screen, or flashing lights to be fun. Sometimes all you need is a few simple materials and a BIG imagination! 💛
Learning about the past is a whole lot more meaningful when little hands get to build, play, explore, and experience it for themselves. 🧸✨
