This week in Lincoln Parish Schools
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. The information below comes directly from those schools. Any school wishing to provide content each week can email to flynnhl@warhawks.ulm.edu

The 7th grade Journalism class took a field trip last week to the Ruston Daily Leader. We were taken on a tour of the facility and were introduced to employees in each department who shared with our students what their jobs entail. The highlight of the trip was the tour of the printing press and hearing all about how it operates. Students were given a stack of wonderful products that the Ruston Daily Leader produces to take home and share with their families.

CSE started the year by celebrating the students who scored a mastery or advanced on the Leap Test from the spring 2023. Each year students that do so, decorate a brick on the “Building Future Leaders” wall in our school. It’s always a fun time for the students to celebrate their success and hard work. We look forward to decorating many more bricks after this year’s LEAP test.
Hillcrest
On Friday, September 20th at Hillcrest, we celebrated Grand Dot Day. Guests were invited to the school to visit their student’s classroom, read the book The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds, and join in a dot themed activity. Guests also had the opportunity to take a picture with their student, which they will receive as a keepsake. We loved having all of our Grands at Hillcrest!
Susan Richardson, one of our first grade teachers, was one of two teachers in Lincoln Parish chosen as an Extra Yard for Teachers recipient. Susan consistently goes above and beyond for her students. We are proud of her hard work and dedication.
