Free School Supplies

Students in Kindergarten through Third Grade in Acadia Parish won't have to worry about providing their own school supplies next year. The Acadia Parish School Board voted unanimously to provide approximately 3200 kids with the necessary Kleenex and crayons that grace the school supply lists at the front of WalMart every summer. They hope this will lessen the financial burden on families and keep the focus on school work. Kudos Acadia Parish! Crowley-Today has the full story.
