The Caldwell Parish School Board used its meeting to highlight staff and student accomplishments and to adopt a resolution honoring a longtime educator.
The board recognized Cassidy Bong (identified in the meeting as a Grayson Elementary staff member) as the April employee of the month; a presenter described Bong's commitment to students and her positive impact at the school. Bong spoke briefly and thanked colleagues.
