Let’s Not Rock the Boat

Plaquemines Port Harbor and Terminal District Executive Director Charles Tillotson’s employment began in December 2022, when the previous Plaquemines Parish Councilman / Port Commissioners were in their final days. At the time, the current council members had been elected but had not taken office. Some had the opinion that the council should wait and let the incoming members hire the new director who would be working for the new team. The council refused to wait and Tillotson got the job.

A Tapestry of Sweet Recollections

Body
On March 14, Pi Day, students had the opportunity to pie teachers in the face while also raising money for the PBIS program. Students were able to put money into a participating teacher’s jar. The money acted as a vote for a pie in the face. Results are as follows: fifth grade, Mrs. Scobel; sixth grade, a tie between Ms. Fields and Mrs. Domaine; seventh grade, Mrs. Barthelemy; eighth grade, Coach Fox; and Mr. Root as the administrator. Students were also allowed to wear green for St. Patrick’s Day and had a small pep rally in the morning to witness all the pieing! Students at Belle Chasse Middle School had a great time watching their favorite teachers becoming pied and creating memorable moments with each other that day. Not only did the students get this sweet treat, but so did teachers. They were all surprised with a Hubig’s Pie from the admin team! Later that day, teachers were able to celebrate the end of the third quarter by holding a fish fry luncheon at Chevron Park to give teachers the opportunity to let loose, relax, and de-stress before the fourth quarter began. “I took a pie in the face for our seventh grade team! It’s great to be a Belle Chasse Bulldog.' -Mrs. Barthelemy seventh grade ELA On April 10, Belle Chasse Middle Schoolers in eighth grade took a field trip to see the school some will be attending next school year, Belle Chasse High School. The eighth graders were able to meet the new administrators to learn of their expectations and receive a tour of the high school to be able to see the full layout of their future school. Their tour guides were peer support leaders of BCHS. At the end of the tour, students were treated to a pep rally. Mrs. Clark said that the eighth graders behaved well and that she was proud of them.
