🧵 Guess how many buttons fall off fatigues? 🔴🪡

Mrs. Elizabeth Fox taught our students a skill they’ll actually use—how to sew a button! Two-hole, four-hole, step-by-step, and finished product. Now they’re ready when that button falls off! 👏👏👏

SRO Officer Gene Williams joined us for the lesson, but our students also wanted to take a moment to show him how much he is appreciated. Cupcakes may have been involved!

Officer Williams will soon be deployed. While we certainly don’t want to see him go, we are incredibly thankful for the men and women who serve and sacrifice to protect our freedom. 🇺🇸

Thank you, Officer Williams, for showing up, serving with pride, and protecting the freedoms we cherish. Our students are cheering you on, and we’ll be praying for your safe return! 🇺🇸❤️🤍💙 🇺🇸

👔 More Than Just Tying a Tie!👨‍💼👨🏽‍💼👨🏾‍💼

For the fourth year, Sgt. Joseph Agna Hebert turned a simple skill into a meaningful workplace lesson. Our students—girls AND guys—practiced tying a tie while learning that productivity is often about being prepared, paying attention to details, and being willing to learn something new.

Because sometimes the little things are the skills that make you feel a little more ready for the big things. 💙⭐️👔⭐️💛

🐝📚 Spreading the LOVE of words at LA! 📚🐝

Today we kicked off our very first LA Spelling Bee! 🎉🐝🪄

The idea came from one of our students, and Mr. Bob Vige' and Mrs. Hope Everett ran with it—turning a great student idea into an opportunity to learn, compete, and have a little fun! 💙⭐️💛

Round 1️⃣ challenged our students with 15 words and we are so proud of everyone who stepped up and gave it their best! ⭐️👏⭐

Who will spell their way to the top? 🐝🏆🐝

Stay tuned for Round 2️⃣!

No one works harder for LA than these people!

💙💛💙💛

SHOW UP. ✅
STAND OUT. ⭐️

Today, a tiny box of Tic Tacs represents something MUCH bigger—>showing up! 👏

At Livingston Alternative, we believe Perfect Attendance is a life skill. Being dependable, being where you’re supposed to be, and following through are habits that matter long after high school.

We also like to make our rewards a little different! 😎 We choose unique treats students may not typically experience—because trying something new can spark curiosity and conversation. 🌎⭐️🗣️

📚 Last school year, 13.3% of Livingston Parish students were chronically absent which is 8.66 better than the state’s rate! Livingston Alternative had a 93.86% Attendance Rate and we want to be even BETTER this year!

So when our students earn PERFECT ATTENDANCE, we’re going to make a BIG deal about it! 🎉

A tiny treat. 🧊
A BIG lesson. 💙⭐️💛

Show up. Be dependable. Build the habit. Own your success.

We’ve also began harvesting permissions from our tree and let the students try those out! Treats all around!

⭐ Self-discipline makes success! ⭐
