✈️ Yesterday's Education Expedition offered a firsthand look at the high-quality learning experiences happening across St. Charles Parish Public Schools. The day began with check-in at the Satellite Center, where talented Piano team members performed in the lobby to welcome guests. Guests also enjoyed a grab-and-go breakfast provided by the Child Nutrition Department before setting off on their school tours. 👨‍🍳🍽️ Guests toured the Satellite Center, Hahnville High School, J.B. Martin Middle School, and Mimosa Park Elementary School. 🚌 Following the tours, Culinary Arts and Hotel, Restaurant, and Tourism (HRT) team members prepared and served lunch at the Satellite Center. During lunch, Superintendent Dr. Ken Oertling shared a presentation with guests. After lunch, guests also had the opportunity to participate in an optional tour of the Lafon Arts Center. Attendees included families, community members, business and industry representatives, resident teachers, and more. These expeditions are hosted each fall and spring, rotating between feeder systems on both sides of the river. A heartfelt thank you to the schools we visited today for welcoming our guests and creating such a warm, inviting environment that truly reflects our belief that You Belong Here. ❤️💛💙 #YouAndIWeAreSCPPS #YouBelongHere 📍

November’s Mindsets Matter resource is here! 🧩 This month, students are exploring the third of the 7 Mindsets, We Are Connected, which emphasizes the importance of building positive relationships, embracing others, working together, and recognizing the value we bring to those around us. Throughout November and December, students will explore how kindness, acceptance, trust, and a sense of belonging help strengthen connections with others. Families can continue the learning at home by encouraging conversations about friendship, gratitude, and the people who make a positive difference in their lives. This month’s resource also includes family conversation starters and ways to practice gratitude and build meaningful relationships. Check out the November edition of Mindsets Matter for family activities, student videos, resources, and more!
