Dear Parents,
We love our bus drivers.
We count on them to get our students
to and from school safely each day. If
you think you might be interested in be-
coming a bus driver for the Plaquemines
Parish School Board, please read the
following message from our transporta-
tion director, Mr. Gordon Terrell.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Ritz
Are you looking for a part-time job? Would you be interested
in a position that has summers off, and no nights, weekends or
holidays? Have you ever thought about becoming a school
bus driver?
These are great jobs for a semi-retired person, a stay at home
parent, or just someone needing a little extra money.
Plaquemines Parish School Board is looking for some part-time
personnel to be substitute bus drivers.
We will provide paid training and help the new hire ob-
tain a CDL-B license. This job could have the opportunity to
become full time in the future, at which point benefits would
be available.
If you are interested or would like to find out more about these
positions, please call us 504 595-6040.

National Elementary Honor Society
Bus Riders of the Month FriYAY Fun
Mrs. Ferrer and Mrs. Brooks
led students in a study of
Cajun culture at a recent
FriYAY enrichment. Students
got the chance to listen to a
story read with a Cajun ac-
cent, teachers taught the
students how to dance the
two-step and Cajun music
livened up the event.
Third grade students complet-
ed their Cajun Folktales Eng-
lish Language Arts unit and
celebrated their learning by
sharing traditional Louisiana
food and a second line all
around BCP. The third grade
students are continuing to
learn about Louisiana in both
ELA and Social Living through
their study of the Louisiana
Purchase.
Congratulations to Belle Chasse Prima-
ry’s newly inducted National Elemen-
tary Honor Society members. Students
nominated must have earned straight A
Honor Roll in the last two quarters of 3rd
grade and the first two quarters of 4th
grade. In addition to being scholars, stu-
dents must also show a willingness to
serve others as well as have leadership
qualities. We expect great things from
this outstanding group of students.

Native American Culture
Bandit’s Book Challenge
Thank you to members of the Yellow Moon Singers, who
represent various Native American tribes in Louisiana, for
coming to BCP to share their culture with students during
a FriYAY enrichment. Students got to hear songs in the
Kaiowa language and the rhythmic sounds of the drums
while dancing a round dance. Authentic dress and arti-
facts were also available for students to see. Thank you
to Mrs. Scheuermann for organizing this wonderful experi-
ence for our students. Among the visitors was August
Creppel, vice principal of the United Houma Nation.
The librarians are encouraging all of the students at BCP to participate
in Bandit’s Book Challenge. This is a reading program established by
Governor John Bel Edwards and his wife, Donna. Mr. and Mrs. Edwards
know that the more students read, the better they become at reading
so they are challenging students to read at home as well as at school.
The goal is for students to read at least 10 books. Mrs. Edwards will visit
BCP in February to check on our progress! Be sure to READ every day!
Reading with the Champs
BCP students had a blast hanging
out with the “champs” at Belle
Chasse High School. Students read
books, enjoyed cookies and milk
and got autographs from student
athletes representing football, base-
ball, soccer, softball, cross country,
dance, cheer and other sports.
