🎉 Congratulations to Anthony Parker, a paraprofessional at The Dufrocq School, for being honored as Teacher of the Month on a prominent Baton Rouge billboard! 🌟
The recognition is part of the Gordon Gives & Tan Cares Bulletin Board, an initiative by attorney Gordon McKernan and radio personality Latangela Fay to celebrate area teachers who make an extraordinary impact in and beyond the classroom.
Parker, who is blind, recently led a White Cane Safety Day event at Dufrocq, giving students a hands-on look at how people who are blind navigate the world.
🗣 Gordon McKernan shared:
"Educators like him don’t just teach lessons; they shape confidence, spark curiosity, and show students what they’re capable of. Their dedication reaches far beyond the classroom, leaving a lasting impression that stays with their students for years to come. We’re proud to support local educators who go above and beyond for their students every day!"💙

Longtime Tara High teacher and coach Barry Jackson was among 10 honorees recognized with the Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Louisiana Foundation’s Angel Award during a special ceremony Monday at LSU’s Lod Cook Center.
The Angel Award celebrates “everyday Louisianians” who make extraordinary contributions to improving the health and lives of children across the state. Coach Jackson has helped guide more than 1,500 students to graduation. Each honoree receives a $30,000 grant to direct to a local nonprofit of their choice.
“It is just humbling to know that God has chosen to use me to be a part of what He desires to do through me,” Jackson shared with local media.
👏 Congratulations, Coach Jackson. 🌟
