The St Tammany Retired School Employees Association showed their support for those victims of the flooding disaster by donating their time and community spirit in the recent flood relief efforts. St. Tammany Parish School System’s students, employees, retirees and families pitched in to support flood victims through a districtwide fundraiser.
New school supplies, gift cards and cash collected will be distributed to impacted students and employees in St. Tammany Parish and other Louisiana school districts in need.

St Tammany Retirees were among the many volunteers who helped to sort and organize the school supplies and other donated items. “After donating items at their local schools, retiree members wanted to know how they could help further?” added Roxanne Lagarde, STRSEA President. The school system welcomed our association into their volunteer efforts.
The districtwide fundraiser was an overwhelming success with heart-felt responses by the area communities. At last count, over 58 palettes of school supplies and donation items were packaged for shipment. “Our goal is to help students and families who are going through a very difficult time right now. As soon as schools reopen, students need supplies and other items to be successful. We hope, with the help of our entire community, to be able to provide these items at this critical time,” said St. Tammany Parish School System Superintendent W. L. “Trey” Folse, III.
