Today, we honor the compassion, commitment, and excellence of our healthcare heroes who serve on the front lines every day. Nurses are the steady hands, caring hearts, and trusted voices guiding patients and families through both routine care and life’s most critical moments.
Nurses Week concludes on May 12, the birthday of Florence Nightingale, whose legacy continues to shape the profession worldwide.
Join us in celebrating and thanking the nurses who make a difference in our community each and every day.
On Tuesday, EBR Schools honored its School Nurses of the Year:

Volunteers add tremendous value to our EBR Schools, and that impact was on display at the annual Volunteers in Public Schools` Apple Awards. 🍎
Among the top honorees were Joe Kirk, who received the prestigious Crystal Apple Award, and LaSalle Elementary. Kirk generously gives his time and financial support to his alma mater, Tara High. LaSalle Elementary had multiple volunteer groups and individuals recognized for their commitment, as well as, Principal Lotarris Williams who was named Principal of the Year.
Superintendent LaMont Cole and Mayor Sid Edwards thanked volunteers for their service to EBR Schools.

Northeast High’s Senior Decision Day gave students the opportunity to proudly share their plans for life after graduation. From college and careers to military service and entrepreneurship, each path reflects their hard work, growth, and determination to succeed.
Students also heard an inspiring message from Superintendent Cole, who encouraged them to move forward with confidence and purpose as they step into this next chapter.
With graduation just weeks away, several McKinley High students announced their next steps publicly during a College Decision Day event at the school. Southern, Grambling, LSU, and Southern Utah were among the schools represented.🎓

The East Baton Rouge Parish School System is advising families that school bus transportation may experience delays during the Friday afternoon commute home because of weather and road conditions across the parish. Transportation staff members are working to safely transport students while navigating possible heavy traffic, flooded areas and impacted roadways caused by
changing weather conditions.
District officials said student safety remains the top priority as drivers continue routes throughout the parish. The district appreciates the understanding and cooperation of families and the community during the weather event.
