School Board Appreciation Month

 

     

The month of January marks the annual observance of School Board Recognition Month – a good time to salute the work of school board members and celebrate public education. Your locally elected board in Lafourche speaks out for public schools by ensuring our students have the opportunity to benefit from a high quality education. Their decisions and actions affect the present and future lives of our community’s children. Join us in celebrating School Board Recognition Month in Lafourche.
