Last week, our students and FFA members had an incredible time at the Louisiana FFA Area IV Leadership Camp!
Our students had an amazing opportunity to connect with FFA members from across the state while building leadership skills, making new friendships, and creating memories that will last a lifetime. Throughout the week, students participated in team-building activities, sports, leadership workshops, reflection sessions, and began planning for an exciting year ahead for our school's FFA chapter.
We are especially proud of our members who were recognized with camp awards, including Best Dressed, Basketball, and the honor of receiving Official FFA Manuals from current FFA officers. Receiving an Official FFA Manual is a meaningful symbol of leadership, mentorship, and confidence. It represents the passing of the torch and serves as an encouragement to continue growing as leaders within our chapter and the FFA organization.
We also enjoyed plenty of fun, laughter, and unforgettable moments throughout the week that strengthened our chapter and reminded us of what FFA is all about. Now we can't wait to put everything we learned into action this year. The future of our chapter is bright!

Last week, our chapter had an incredible experience at the Louisiana FFA State Convention!
Throughout the week, our students took advantage of countless opportunities to learn, grow, and connect. Members proudly served as voting delegates, attended leadership workshops, explored the expo, and networked with FFA members from across the state. Along the way, they reunited with old friends, made new connections, and created memories that will last a lifetime.
Several of our students were selected to compete in a trivia contest, while others participated in chapter challenges that encouraged teamwork, leadership, and creativity. Our members also decorated clothespins featuring hand-drawn braille and signs to help spread awareness about our chapter and promote inclusion.
While the activities and competitions were exciting, the most valuable takeaway was the inspiration our students brought home. They left the convention motivated, energized, and excited for the upcoming school year, ready to apply what they learned and continue growing as leaders.
We are so proud of the way our members represented our chapter throughout the week and look forward to all they will accomplish this year!💙💛

Yesterday, our seniors graduated from the Louisiana School for the Deaf. 💚💛
Before graduation, we asked them one question: “What will you miss most about LSD?”
Their answers were about friendships, dorm life, sports, memories, teachers and staff, support, opportunities, and finally feeling at home.
At LSD, our students don’t just attend school - they build community, confidence, language, and lifelong connections.
We are so proud of the Class of 2026 and are so thankful to have been part of their journey.
Once a War Eagle, always a War Eagle. 🦅

Exciting news!

Hooked on bilingual beginnings! 🤟✨ Meleah & Rachael just got back from the National ASL & English Bilingual Consortium for Early Childhood Education and came home buzzing with inspiration. At the flagship annual summit they connected with hundreds of educators, researchers, and advocates committed to ASL–English bilingual early learning. They’re full of new ideas and ready to bring back strategies and resources for our classrooms and families. 👶📚✨

As our middle school students finish up Day 3 of state testing, we want to send a huge thank you to Bayou Buddies for visiting earlier this week and helping our students feel calm and ready to show off their learning!

Want a sneak peek into high school Ag Science? 🌱🐐 Mrs. Hannah’s 2nd block gave our middle schoolers a fun presentation and tour in early April about Ag classes and FFA—complete with favorite memories (yes, chasing loose chickens!) - then hands-on time with goats, chickens, rabbits, and our aquaponics setup. Many left inspired to take Ag Science in high school! ✨💚
