News & Notes from Lincoln Parish Schools (pre-K to 8th)

Choudrant Elementary PTO held the Donut Dash and raised a little over $30,000.

The Lincoln Parish Journal is providing our local schools an opportunity to submit nuggets from what’s going on at their respective schools in order to get more information out on its students, faculty and staff. The information below comes directly from those schools. Any school wishing to provide content each week can email to LPJNewsLA@gmail.com.

This past Saturday at Pineville High School, fifth-grader Terrell Davis competed in seven events at the State Elementary Fitness Meet. He qualified as one of the top fitness competitors in Lincoln Parish in late March and went on to represent his school and Lincoln Parish in this state-wide competition.

The events Terrell and others competed in were as follows: curl-ups, shuttle run, sit and reach, pull-ups, standing long jump, 50-yard dash, and the 600-yard run. Close to 20 parishes were competing at the state level this weekend, so the competition was steep. Terrell was awarded the 3rd place medal in the 600-yard run! We are so proud of him and proud of how well he represented our school!
