🌲✈️ WHISPERING FOREST FAMILIES… YOUR VACATION PLANNER HAS ENTERED THE CHAT! 🐿️🦝🦉🦊

We all love a good family getaway… but we also want our little Critters in school, on time, and ready to learn! 💚📚

So instead of saying, “Eh, what’s one or two school days?” 😬😂 …check out all of these built-in opportunities on the school calendar to plan some family fun without adding unnecessary absences!

🍂 Labor Day: 3-day opportunity
🎡 Parish Fair & Fall Holiday: 4-day opportunity
🗳️ Election Day: 1-day opportunity
🦃 Thanksgiving: 9-day opportunity
🎄 Christmas: 18-day opportunity
🇺🇸 MLK Jr. Day: 3-day opportunity
⚜️ Mardi Gras: 9-day opportunity
🐣 Easter: 11-day opportunity

That’s a whole lot of chances to make memories, visit family, hit the beach, head to Disney, take a road trip, or simply enjoy some pajamas-and-no-alarm-clock time. 😂

St. Tammany Parish Public Schools reminds families that regular attendance plays a huge role in student success—and those missed school days can add up quickly.

So when possible…

🌳 Vacation on the breaks.
📚 Learning on the school days.
🐿️ Keep our Critters in class!

Save this handy little vacation tree when you're planning the year! 💚🌲

And remember—illnesses and unexpected situations happen! If your child does need to miss school, be sure to follow the school's attendance procedures and submit any required documentation.

Every Child Matters. Every Day Counts. 💚📚

🍞🥩 DINNER PLANS = HANDLED. FUNDRAISING = HANDLED. NO DISHES = EVEN BETTER. 😂

On Monday, August 31 from 3–10 PM, take the night off from cooking and head to Texas Roadhouse in Slidell to support Whispering Forest Elementary PTA! 🐺💚

Texas Roadhouse will donate 10% of your food purchase back to Whispering Forest when you show the flyer or mention the fundraiser.

And because apparently they know exactly what exhausted school families need, you can even pre-order a Family Pack and take dinner home. 🙌

Family Pack choices include:
🥩 Beef Tips
🍗 Chicken Critters
🐷 Pulled Pork
🔥 Grilled BBQ Chicken
🥗 Salad + sides + A DOZEN ROLLS 🤤

Because if eating Texas Roadhouse rolls helps our school, then frankly, this is the kind of community service we can all get behind. 😂

📅 Monday, August 31
⏰ 3 PM–10 PM
📍 Texas Roadhouse – 854 E I-10 Service Rd, Slidell
💚 10% donated back to Whispering Forest Elementary PTA

Want a Family Pack? Pre-orders must be placed by Saturday, August 29 at 11 AM. Scan the QR code on the flyer!

And don't forget to ask your server or To-Go team for a wristband for each child who attends — the class that returns the most wristbands gets a bread party! 🍞🎉

So come hungry, skip the dishes, eat an unreasonable number of rolls, and call it supporting education. 😎

Please share and help us pack the Roadhouse! 🐺💚
