The Lincoln Parish Journal is providing our local schools with an opportunity to submit nuggets from what’s going on at their respective schools in order to get more information out on their students, faculty and staff.

Middle Schools
A.E. Phillips Middle School
Our 7th grade students enjoyed a fast paced and activity packed South Louisiana trip the week before Spring Break. Mrs. Kelly, our Assistant Director of Middle School, did a fantastic job of planning this trip for our students, making sure they experienced our great state of Louisiana to the fullest. Some fun activities included a visit to the World War II Museum, Mardi Gras World, and an airboat ride through the swamps, among many other stops along the way. A special thanks to our middle school teachers for joining in on the fun as chaperones.
The 3rd nine weeks Journalism class visited the Ruston Daily Leader this week to tour the facility and to meet the amazing staff and hard-working writers, editors, & graphic design team. Our students come away from this field trip with a better understanding of how a newspaper is built from the ground up.

Elementary Schools
A. E. Phillips Elementary
Our 3rd grade students held their first ever “STEM Program”. The students, under the direction of their fabulous teachers Ms. Smith and Mrs. Walsworth, learned STEM related songs and learned about STEM related professions they might want to pursue in the future. Each third grader chose a future job they might like to have and shared that with the audience. They did a fantastic job!
Just before Spring Break our first graders put on a wonderful play called “Pajama Party”. Music resident, Rebekah Heiden took the lead on this production and did a great job teaching these students their song and super cute motions to go with them. This was a sweet program enjoyed by all in attendance.

Simsboro
Elementary students of Simsboro School rocked February’s Heart Healthy month by participating in life saving CPR, drinking more water, exercising outdoors, getting plenty of rest, and eating their fruits and vegetables. They also learned how to monitor their own heart rate. Simsboro students not only met our goal of $5,001 for our annual American Heart Association Kids Heart Challenge fundraiser, but they absolutely crushed it! They raised $8,216.21 to help kids with heart problems and in need of hospitalizations for the AHA organization.
Mrs. DeVille’s first grade class came in first in the coin drive raising $355 dollars. Mrs. Bonnett’s first grade class came in first place for our PK-2nd competition overall raising money for kids in need. They brought in $1,500! Mrs. Moore’s third grade class came in first place for our 3rd-5th grade overall competition raising $1,700 for the American Heart Association! Since these awesome students not only beat their goal, but surpassed it by a great amount, our fearless leader, Ms. Crane upheld her end of the deal! She was duct taped to the wall and was such a great sport! The kids had a blast learning about heart healthy habits all month long and we celebrated on February 28th participating in our BIG EVENT with heart healthy snacks and games! Way to go, Simsboro students!!
