Discovery Schools

Thank you to all of our Swamp Owls who crafted a gala centerpiece. The centerpieces add a wonderful personal touch to our fundraising event! We received over 50 entries! The results have been tallied, and we have our top 3 winners. 1st - Aaliyah Meulens-Camacho 2nd - Brandon Christoffer 3rd - Asher Satterlee Congratulations to our winners! They were all wonderful and unique, making it a tough job for the judges to choose. The names were redacted during the voting process, but age and grade level were considered when judging. The 3 winners' parents will be contacted on Monday or Tuesday about the prizes. At the end of the event, the centerpieces will be stored at the Loyola campus for pickup. They will be recycled if they are not picked up by Monday, April 7th.

Bayou Jam will be on April 12th! Check out the flyer for cook-off team, 5K, and general ticketing information! https://5il.co/3batx
