The Gator-Aid, Captain Shreve's PTSA Newsletter won the State PTA Award of Excellence for five years in a row!
Captain Shreve PTSA
In 1967 a group of interested parents organized the Captain Shreve PTA in the interest of the students, the teachers, and the parents of the school. By establishing the PTA at Captain Shreve, the organization became directly affiliated with the Louisiana State PTA and National PTA and, therefore, shares a common goal-the best possible education for our young people. In 1994, PTA became PTSA, allowing the students to join the organization.
PTSA is directly responsible for presenting:
Each parent and student is encouraged to join the Captain Shreve PTSA. Sources of income are dues and the Gator Focus Fund. We also participate in the Kroger Share Card program. Your support, assistance, and active participation are needed. Everyone can belong to the PTSA-parents, students, teachers, grandparents, individuals with or without children-everyone who cares about children and wants to make that caring count. JOIN THE PTSA AT CAPTAIN SHREVE!

The Captain Shreve Athletic Council is please to announce the "Senior Student-Athlete Award" beginning with the Class of 2008. The Council voted to approve that one male and one female athlete will receive recognition for their efforts in sport and in the classroom. They will be recognized at Honor Day, have their name engraved on a plaque to be displayed at Captain Shreve, and receive a one-time award of $500. Interested students must apply for this award and submit by April 10, 2008. Requirements for consideration are: 1) must be a graduating senior that will attend college 2) must have a sponsoring coach 3) must have played for at least two consecutive seasons at the JV and varsity level and have been a starter for at least half the varsity games. Extenuating circumstances that prevent the athlete from competing will be considered. 4) must have two sponsoring faculty members that can vouch for the student's participation in their class (which must be at the level of Enriched, Honors, or AP) and that they have at least a 3.00 average overall. 5) must submit a 500 word (maximum) essay. Details are described on the application. The essays will be judged anonymously by an outside committee (not related to the athletic council). The council will then make the final determination of the recipients. Interested applicants will be able to pick up the application at the front office beginning February 4th. They are to submit their applications to Dr. McCalla. Any questions about this award should be directed to the Booster Club President, currently Mike Salvatore at mfsalvatore@yahoo.com. Thank you Mike Salvatore |
| From Lisa Paine: Captain Shreve lacrosse is part of the sports at our school, however, it is a club sport only, so the funding comes from the team. In addition to coaches, fees, buses, etc. this year the lacrosse team ordered new uniforms out of necessity. As you know, these items run into the thousands for a team. The lacrosse team members and parents are selling ads that will be distributed at their games. They play Loyola, Byrd, Magnet, Dallas teams, Lafayette teams and other local teams. They would appreciate your consideration in buying an ad or forwarding the information to someone else who would like this opportunity. Ad Form |

From State Superintendent of Education, Paul G. Pastorek:
The Department of Education is creating a Tutoring Hotline leading up to the
March LEAP exams for 4th and 8th graders across the state. Every school will
soon receive practice books to be taken home by students. Teachers in the
4th and 8th grade should also receive the books. I ask that you recommend
that students complete several lessons each night at home leading up to the
test.
