Making Moments Matter: Ana Henriquez
Submitted by Mandy Guillot and Dian Pellegrin

Great teaching doesn't just make a difference in one classroom; it inspires educators and strengthens instruction across our state!
Congratulations to Ana Henriquez for being selected as the October Spotlight in the LATESOL EL Educators Convening Series, an initiative focused on building collaboration and consistency among Louisiana's English Learner (EL) professionals.

As part of this recognition, Ana shared a video of her instruction in the EMHS Newcomer Class, highlighting teacher-developed strategies designed to strengthen English Learners' writing skills. Educators across Louisiana had the opportunity to see theory put into practice through intentional instruction, meaningful scaffolding, and strategies that help students build skills they can apply across all academic disciplines.

Ana consistently goes above and beyond in her role as an educator. Her willingness to volunteer, share her expertise, welcome feedback, and continually refine her instructional practices demonstrates her commitment not only to her students but also to the professional growth of educators throughout our state.

Thank you, Ana, for opening your classroom, sharing your knowledge, and showing how intentional instruction can create meaningful opportunities for every learner to succeed. Your dedication is making a difference far beyond your own classroom!

We are proud to see Terrebonne Parish educators leading,
collaborating, and making an impact across Louisiana!

Making Moments Matter: Misty Richard
Submitted by Amanda Callahan

Sometimes making a difference means stepping up to meet a need, removing a burden, and making sure families know they are not alone.

Mrs. Richard at Lisa Park Elementary is making a meaningful difference by going above and beyond to support foster care students and the families who care for them. Recognizing that foster families often face needs and expenses beyond the financial assistance they receive, Mrs. Richard partnered with our district's Foster Care Coordinator to identify ways to provide additional support.

Through her compassion, initiative, and willingness to help, Mrs. Richard was able to assist a foster family in keeping siblings together while also helping eliminate some of the additional school-related expenses associated with caring for these children.
Keeping siblings together can make an incredible difference in the lives of children navigating the challenges of foster care. By recognizing the needs of this family and taking action, Mrs. Richard helped provide support, stability, and reassurance during an important time in their lives.

Thank you, Mrs. Richard, for reminding us that making a difference is about seeing a need and finding a way to meet it. Your kindness and dedication demonstrate the power of relationships, compassion, and a school community that truly cares. We are proud of the difference you are making for our students and families!

Because every child deserves to feel supported, valued, and at home in their school community.

Making Moments Matter: Emmalee Hampton
Submitted by Alesia Blanchard

Sometimes the greatest impact an educator makes cannot be measured by a lesson plan, a test score, or a classroom achievement. It is found in the hearts of the students who know they have someone they can count on.

Mrs. Hampton is making a lasting difference by providing something every child needs: a safe place to feel accepted, understood, and supported. For students who may put tremendous pressure on themselves, struggle with anxiety, or feel misunderstood, her classroom is more than a place to learn. It is a place where they can take a breath, work through their emotions, and simply be themselves without fear of judgment.

As shared by one grateful parent, Mrs. Hampton has been the person their children could turn to time and time again when they were struggling or needed someone who would listen. Her compassion, understanding, and willingness to be there have made an immeasurable difference in their lives.

Thank you, Mrs. Hampton, for being a safe place, a listening ear, and a steady source of encouragement for our students. Your impact reaches far beyond the classroom, reminding us that sometimes the most powerful thing a teacher can do is make a child feel seen, valued, and understood.

That is what making moments matter is all about!

October Principal Collaboration

A day of learning, collaboration, and meaningful professional growth! Our October Principal Collaboration at West Park brought together school leaders for three engaging learning rotations designed to strengthen instructional leadership and enhance the student experience.

As Mr. Butler reminds us throughout this school year, it's all about being BOOTS ON THE GROUND! Being present, staying connected to classrooms, supporting teachers, and keeping students at the center of every decision. This day of collaboration provided our principals with practical strategies and tools to take back to their schools and put into action immediately.

Our three learning rotations included:

* The Feedback Formula: Using Success Criteria to Solve for Growth – Presented by Alishia Ancar, Numeracy Coach with the Louisiana Department of Education (LDOE), focusing on meaningful feedback and using success criteria to support student growth.
* ELA Unit Study Tool & Section Diagnostics – Presented by Darlene Boudwin, ELA Curriculum Specialist for Terrebonne Parish School District, highlighting how to use the ELA Unit Study Tool and Section Diagnostics within each unit to strengthen instructional planning and student learning.
* The Principalship and the Student Experience – Presented by Dr. Mia Matherne and Dr. Arthur Joffrion from the LDOE Office of Teaching and Learning, exploring the role of school leadership in shaping the experiences students have every day.

The feedback from our principals was overwhelmingly positive! Participants shared how relevant, meaningful, and practical the learning was and, most importantly, how easily the strategies and tools could be implemented in their schools the very next day.

We appreciate our presenters for sharing their expertise and our principals for their continued commitment to learning, growing, and leading with purpose. Being boots on the ground means turning learning into action, supporting our teachers, and making an impact where it matters most—in our classrooms and for our students!

Together, we are making a difference—Every Student, Every Day!
