St. Mary Association of Educators at the 2016 Representative Assembly. We had the honor of taking a picture with Governor John Bel Edwards! He recognized the hard work and dedication teachers go through each and every day. A true friend of education indeed!

We are doing all that we can to protect our public schools from closing!! SMAE is willing to go the extra mile for our members! Consolidation is not the only solution to solving the budget. Please contact the board members to let them know how you feel.

Please share!! We are asking the community of St. Mary Parish to attend this meeting. Our elementary schools are the foundation of education. Increasing their classroom sizes will be detrimental to their learning. It's all about the kids. We just need our school board members to see it that way! FYI... Closing down these two schools still wouldn't solve the budget problem completely. They are also talking about a phase two. Please contact the board members of St. Mary Parish and express your concern. Students and teachers will be displaced into crowded classrooms if we don't speak up against this.

We are asking all stakeholders (students, parents, teachers, administrators, community members) to please take five minutes to complete our survey. This survey will be used to collect information from all stakeholders as it applies to the current and upcoming budget deficits within the St. Mary Parish School System, as well as the options that have been selected.

Please tag friends, family, and community members in this post so that we can reach more people. Thank YOU!

November is Adoption Awareness Month. There are 4,787 children in foster care in Louisiana, and currently, 653 of them are freed for adoption and are awaiting their forever homes.

Unfortunately, for many of these children, they leave their homes with nothing more than a day or twos worth of clothing, and more sadly, many of them arrive to their foster homes with their belongings in a garbage bag. Our children deserve more than this.

I'm challenging all of you to challenge your students, clubs, organizations, civil groups, church groups, etc to either raise funds that can be donated towards the purchase of suitcases, or hold a suitcase drive to give these children the message that they are not trash.

My goal is to not only give these kids a suitcase, but also a teddy bear of some sort, as well as a small bag of personal hygiene products.

I've challenged my BETA students to raise enough to fund 150. Can we reach 2,500 across the state?

Please call me if you need any help, have any questions, or ideas.

Thank You,
