Booker T. Washington High

Terrific Tuesday Lions! Some times were had last week! Our Halloween Mental Health Fair exposed students to resources to support their mental health journeys. Our Academic Pep Rally celebrating student achievement was also a surprise birthday party for Mrs. Barnes! Mrs. Chloe Duplessis visited with her traveling art show and shared wisdom about the Black experience. This is the LOVE that The Den is about. 🤍 #WhatsBetterThanALion?

#FlashbackFriday #whatsbetterthanaLion We are pursuing excellence in so many ways here at 2104 Milam St in the heart of the city of Shreveport. Our Allied Health Students who are a part of the Willis Knighton/Caddo Health Occupations Partnership, experienced a full day of hands on activities today. Can I say WHO’S prouder than we are? Our students have the opportunity to partner with Willis Knighton to receive hands on experience in the medical field in several different areas. We are thankful for the support of Caddo Parish School District, our Principal Crystal Barnes and the vision of Dr. Matthew Mitchell along with Willis Knighton Coordinator, Ms. Mallory Gaston. Thank you scholars for showing that LION pride!

Today is International Day for the Eradication of Poverty! What does that mean? Countries all over the world are afflicted by poverty (lack of money and resources to live safely). There are MILLIONS who live on less than $2 a day. You can't even buy a meal with that! The knowledge you gain in The Den everyday can lead to you becoming an answer to the problem. Lions are brilliant, talented, and capable of doing wonderful things! #WhatsBetterThanALion? #MakingTheWorldABetterPlace
