Teachers at J. H. Williams enjoyed star treatment recently during “Hollywood Week”. This is a special week to commemorate ‘Teacher Appreciation Week.’ The week included games, prizes, and food provided by administrators, parents, and various clubs. Among the activities teachers participated in a spa day; fan mail from students; a baby picture identification in which teachers attempted to identify their colleagues as babies and a scavenger hunt, which sent groups of teachers all around town to fulfill the requirements of the hunt. The winner of the baby picture identification was Stephanie Plunkett. Winners of the scavenger hunt (pictured) were Jessica Touchet, Sharon Vercher, Denise Orellana, Charlotte Viator, Dustin Dugas, Ann Bell, Hannah Vincent, and Hal Lopez. J.H.W. teachers extend their sincere thanks and appreciation to all who worked so hard to make Teacher Appreciation Week so special.

Chez Elles, a women’s civic club in Kaplan, installed the new officers for the 2015-2016 year. They include Mindy Herpin - treasurer, Sonia Frith - recording secretary, Lisa Broussard – vice president, Laura LeBouef – president, Debby Meaux – assistant treasurer, and Holly Frederick – corresponding secretary.
Chez Elles was organized in December of 1946 with the first meeting being held in the home of Grace Hardee. The object of Chez Elles is mental and spiritual growth through fellowship, study and good deeds.
With the generosity of the members and fund raising, Chez Elles continues each year to make a difference in the lives of others in the community by donating to many organizations in the community and offers an annual scholarship to a KHS graduate.
