Congratulations to the St. Tammany Parish school system, which collected more than $132,000 in money and gift cards and more than 55 pallets of school supplies (worth an estimated $200,000) to assist families and schoolchildren affected by the recent historic flooding throughout Louisiana. Superintendent W. L. “Trey” Folse, III, held a press conference Thursday to announce the results and thank the community, public agencies, community organizations, and businesses that helped to make this the school system’s most successful fundraiser ever. District Attorney Warren Montgomery, Parish President Pat Brister, and Capt. Daniel Seuzeneau of the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office were among those invited to join Folse in celebrating the news.
