💙P.R.I.D.E. in Action! ❤️

Every morning, we review our P.R.I.D.E. Core Values during announcements. This week, we had the opportunity to recognize a student who is truly turning those words into actions! 🌟

He showed EMPATHY to one of our PreK students whose day was off to a rough start. His kindness and compassion were a beautiful reminder that we’re not only preparing our scholars to be well-educated, but also to be good human beings. 🥰

We are so proud of you! Keep letting your P.R.I.D.E. shine! ✨

A special thank you to Tim Kerner Jr. for your kind words and support of our young artists! We appreciate you! 🎨 Jefferson Parish Schools

Look at what the talented students of Shirley T. Johnson/Gretna Park Elementary School created for our District 1 Office!

During my visit, I was incredibly impressed by the school’s commitment to the arts and the creativity and vibrancy felt throughout the campus. It is truly a special place. The principal and faculty are just amazing.

We are honored and proud to display this thoughtful work from these District 1 children, where everyone who enters our office will be able to see and enjoy it. Thank you to the students, teachers, and staff for sharing your talents with us and creating something we will treasure.
