🎁✨ Gifts rolled in this week through the Adopt an Elf program. Hundreds of generous community members stepped up to "adopt" a student in need, selected gifts from their wish list and dropped them off at the Broadmoor Elementary collection site.
The gifts will be delivered to students next week, spreading warmth, joy, and holiday cheer across our district.
Thank you to our community for making this season brighter for EBR students. 💙🎄

🧥💛A wave of warmth spread from WBRZ to Park Forest Elementary Creative Sciences & Arts Magnet School and beyond on Friday! 🌟 Former WBRZ meteorologist Pat Shingleton hosted his annual Pat’s Coats for Kids campaign outside the WBRZ studios, where representatives from Baton Rouge-area schools picked up bags of jackets to share with students. Later, Shingleton joined EBR Schools Superintendent LaMont Cole at Park Forest to celebrate students receiving their new coats.🧥💛
