School began last Thursday here in Vermilion Parish. The hallways and desks gained new occupants as new students and teachers began their first lessons of the 2018-2019 school year.
LeBlanc Elementary gained a new teacher this year, Amy Thibodeaux, who is teaching fourth grade, Writing, Language and Social Studies and is partnered up with another teacher who will be teaching Math and Science.
Thibodeaux plans to be a supportive and loving teacher who wants to give her students not only an education but knowledge about what it means to be considerate, loving and respectful.

School begins today in Vermilion Parish, and there are two Kaplan natives who cannot wait to start their new careers as educators.
Hali Weekly and Mia Bouillion are two rookie teachers in Vermilion Parish.
Kaplan High School has undoubtedly heard the name Mia Boullion before, in fact, several times.
Boullion is proud to announce that she will be teaching at her old stomping grounds, the very place she held dear to her heart for four years until she graduated in 2012.

Members of the City of Abbeville’s electrical crew are continually cutting and trimming tree limbs that are around power lines.
However, there are some areas where it is not safe for the city workers to cut. With that, the city has brought in a company, Global Energy Systems, to handle cutting around the city’s main, transmission lines.
“These are high voltage areas,” Abbeville Public Works Director Clay Menard said. “It can be very dangerous. This company is used to doing work like this.
“It is the same company that does Entergy’s work.”
