📱 Help your child stay safe on social media!

Review privacy settings, know who they follow, and remind them to protect personal information. Teach your child never to create, share, or repost threatening content—even as a joke. Doing so can lead to serious school consequences and possible criminal charges.

Threatening posts should be reported immediately to the police or a trusted adult. Encourage your child to block, report, and speak up whenever something feels unsafe online.

Today, we’re remembering Dolly Parton—an extraordinary artist, but also a tireless champion for children, literacy and education.

Yes, Dolly gave us unforgettable music. But her impact reaches far beyond the stage. Through Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, she helped put more than 325 million books into the hands of children around the world, inspiring a love of reading and helping families build a foundation for learning.

Her music may be her legacy, but so are the millions of children who grew up with a book in their hands because of her.

Dolly’s belief in the power of children, books and education will continue to inspire generations to come.

Thankful for Our Friends Closet!! ❤️‍🩹

Our Friends Closet made a HOT‑weather rescue run to Lake Harbor Middle School today!

We dropped off deodorant, body spray, (and snacks) because — let’s be honest — Louisiana heat is NO joke.
Keeping kids fresh, confident, and cared for is what we do. 💛🔥
