Superintendent Doris Voitier said the district is always searching for passionate, driven individuals who are looking to make a difference in the lives of children.

“We are committed to placing teachers in positions where they and their students will be most successful,” said Voitier. “Making sure the St. Bernard Parish School System is a good fit for you is very important to us.

The Trist Middle School Beta Club and Builders Club teamed up to organize and fill Thanksgiving Meal Bags.

We are so grateful to our Pirate students and families who donated all of the items needed for a Thanksgiving dinner. The bags include items like stuffing mix, cranberry sauce, mashed potato mix, dessert mixes, and all of the ingredients for green bean and sweet potato casseroles.

Our school worked with the Andrew Jackson Lodge and Good Deeds Fulfilling Needs organizations. These organizations will deliver the bags along with whole turkeys to local families who are in need of a little assistance this season.

We would like to give a special shout-out to Tractor Supply Co. in Meraux for their donation of sturdy reusable shopping bags. We would also like to thank Walmart Neighborhood Market in Meraux for donating 30 turkeys to this team project.

We all have so much to be thankful for, and our community and school are at the top of the list!

This week was Trist Gratitude Week. Our students and staff showed their appreciation for their families by honoring their traditions and cultural heritages through their attire. We hope that our entire Pirate family enjoys celebrating with their families and other loved ones over this Thanksgiving holiday break.
