❤️💛💙💚Making a difference is at the heart of everything we do.
This week we learned of an incredible achievement where 80.4 % of our K-3 students are reading at or above grade level—#1 in growth for the state of Louisiana. This growth doesn't happen without the people who are the central core of our schools, our teachers and school teams.
It is about our teachers who saw potential in every student and worked tirelessly everyday to help them grow. It is about teachers who inspire, nurture, and encourage students that nothing is unachievable when you put belief in yourself. Our teachers, support staff, and leaders are the heartbeat, the coaches, and the mentors that open a student's eyes to a world of possibilities. You are the real difference makers and we are so fortunate to have you all as part of this DeSoto Parish Schools family.
Thank you for what you do and what you will continue to do for student success. #WinningTogether #TheDeSotoDifference

Campers used creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving skills to identify challenges in their communities and design innovative solutions. They learned about trademarks, copyrights, intellectual property, and how inventors protect and develop their ideas.
Students engineered secure storage boxes using everyday materials such as cardboard, foil, and straws, creating unique designs with locks, compartments, and protective features to safeguard important documents.
Working in teams, campers brainstormed, designed, tested, and improved their prototypes while practicing communication, collaboration, and engineering skills. During the showcase, students presented their inventions and explained how their solutions could improve safety, organization, accessibility, and quality of life in their communities.
Aligned with DeSoto Summer Learning’s “Out of This World” theme, the program encouraged students to think like inventors and community leaders by turning creative ideas into practical solutions for real-world challenges. #TheDeSotoDifference #CampInvention
