| Woodlawn Student Makes a Difference |
|
Woodlawn Middle School student Haley Cook recently took time to support a worthy cause by donating her hair to Locks of Love. The group is a public non-profit organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children in the United States and Canada    under age 21 suffering from long-term medical hair loss from any diagnosis. Donated hair must measure at least 10 inches from tip to tip. Haley began growing out her hair in fourth grade while attending Woodlawn Elementary. This type of community service is commendable and seen often from students in Ouachita Parish Schools. Haley is in 7th grade, a member of the Beta Club, and an honor student. Her parents are Walter and Sherry Stafford, and her principal is Charles Dykes. Thanks Haley for making a difference!

| Ace the Warhawk Visits A. L. Smith |
|
The University of Louisiana Monroe recently donated Ace’s Adventures Activity Books to 3rd and 4th grade students across Ouachita Parish. Ace the Warhawk himself visited students at A. L. Smith Elementary to kick-off the presentation.
         
ULM President Dr. James Cofer, First Lady Deborah Cofer and Ouachita Parish Superintendent Dr. Bob Webber were on hand to help Ace deliver the second activity book in the series titled, “Ace Solves the Case of Staying Healthy.” The second book is packed with information on nutrition and proper exercise. It places the mascot in great on-campus exercise spots such as Brown Stadium, the Natatorium and the Activity Center. The first book, “Ace Explores Campus,” taught students in Pre-K through 2nd grade about biology, conservation, music, art and more.
A. L. Smith Elementary principal Dena Leggett, along with teachers and students, were excited to meet Ace and receive the books. Thanks to the ULM faculty and staff for this valuable contribution!
