HONORING OUR VETERANS IN EAST FELICIANA PUBLIC SCHOOLS: At East Feliciana STEAM Academy, students learned about their family members who are veterans and heard from veterans Henry Taylor and Patrick Turner, who shared inspiring words about service, patriotism, and leadership. Their stories reminded students of the true meaning of commitment and gratitude.
