We were thoroughly entertained by The Don Brown Collective, who gave us a vibrant taste of the NOLA jazz scene! Dear Community Families, What a wonderful week of Black History celebrations!

I’ll also be meeting with the Student Council officers this week to discuss free seating at lunch—an idea sparked by student leadership and advocacy. What a fantastic group of student leaders! I’d also like to send a heartfelt shout-out to our amazing Attendance Counselor and to celebrate an exciting achievement for our school community. We are thrilled to share that our school has exceeded district expectations and goals for attendance! Our current chronic absentee...
