D.A.R.E.
The 5th grade students had their D.A.R.E. graduation today in the gym. Captain Don Alexander and Corporal Jeannie Alexander have been preparing the students in the D.A.R.E. program for the past few months. We would like to thank the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff's Office for offering the D.A.R.E. program to our school. The students had a great time and we look forward to many more years sharing it with our students.
Congratulations to Grace Alexander, Emily Monistere, and Christina Curtis for winning the D.A.R.E. essay contest

New Spirit Shirt
Order forms for the new spirit shirts went home today in Wednesday packets. They will be delivered to students at the beginning of next school year.
***Students may wear the current spirit shirt for the next school year. They will be completely phased out for the 2018-2019 school year.
Tuition Lending Program
Due to the recent change of First NBC Bank to Whitney Bank, we have moved our Tuition Lending Program to Gulf Coast Bank & Trust Company. Whitney Bank does not offer this program and Gulf Coast has worked very hard to ensure that we have a seamless transition to their company. If you have a loan for next year, you received a letter in the Wednesday packet today with directions for initiated your new loan with Gulf Coast and other important information. Please read all the material carefully.

Spring Fair
A Special Thank You to Scott Reeves, our fair chairperson, and all the members of the fair committee. All of their hard work paid off and we had a successful weekend. Thank you as well to our parents who volunteered their time which allowed us to offer games for the children and food to all of our visitors. Many of our parents worked multiple shifts to help cover empty spots. We did not have 100% participation by our parents. 100% participation is the only way we can continue to offer the wonderful choices in games and food at our fair.
School Supplies
In today's Wednesday packets, the 2017-2018 School Supplies order form went home for families who would like to
pre-order school supplies for next year. Please return the form and money if you would like to participate.
