98 students met the goal of zero absences, zero behavior infractions and zero failing grades to receive free dress passes. Their names were also entered into a drawing for a week of double lunch shifts, lunch on the principal and a pair of Beats headphones.

Good luck to all the Pels participating in the High School STEM challenge today at the Career Academy!
Thank you to the WBR School Board, Dr. Smith, and our community for supporting the installation of the turf field at Brusly High. The finished product is beautiful and will enhance the high school experience for our athletes, spirit groups, and band. -Hoff Schooler, BHS
I’m excited about what this new field turf means for our program and our community. It’s more than just a great playing surface, it opens the door for our youth and feeder programs to play here with us, building stronger connections and a true home-field atmosphere from the youngest athletes on up. - Antoine Washington, PAHS

Huge Thank You to Our Guest Speakers!
Earlier this week, our Port Allen High JAG students had the privilege of learning from two incredible professionals —
💼 Mr. Toby Willis, Financial Advisor with Edward Jones, and
🏠 Mr. Brandon Brown, Real Estate Agent here in Port Allen!
Both speakers shared valuable insight on financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and career success, reminding our students that hard work, smart choices, and community connections can open endless opportunities.
We truly appreciate you both for taking the time to invest in our students’ futures and for giving them real-world knowledge they can carry beyond the classroom. 💪
Ice Simulation Activity
In this hands-on lab, students modeled and observed how melting land ice and melting sea ice affect sea-level rise differently. Using containers of water, ice cubes placed both on land (in a model representing glaciers) and in the ocean (representing sea ice), students compared water levels before and after the ice melted. Students discovered that melting land ice causes sea levels to rise, while melting sea ice does not significantly change sea levelbecause it is already floating in the water. The activity helped students visualize the effects of global warming on polar ice and sea-level rise, reinforcing the concept of energy transfer between Earth’s systems (atmosphere, hydrosphere, and geosphere).
Through observations, data collection, and reflection questions, students connected the simulation to real-world climate change impacts and discussed ways human activity contributes to rising global temperatures and melting polar ice.
