📚💡 EBR School Board Vice President Cliff Lewis visited EBR Readiness Elementary during a town hall and awards ceremony on Friday to encourage students to work hard, believe in themselves and prepare for the future.
Lewis shared how he struggled in school as a child before becoming an NFL player, educator, leader and School Board member. He urged students to ask for help, stay focused and never let labels define who they are.
🗣️ “There ain’t no free lunch,” Lewis said. “You’ve got to work hard — and in many cases, harder than the guy or the girl sitting next to you.”

What an exciting STEM night at Westdale! We gasped at experiments that went "boom!", explored swamp life, and got hands-on with Liberty Magnet`s Robotics team. We even learned how teamwork and engineering create race cars with LSU TigerRacing. A night full of curiosity,
creativity, and fun!
