Pointe-aux-Chenes parents, residents and students protest proposed school closure
About two dozen parents, residents and students gathered outside Pointe-aux-Chenes Elementary today to protest a proposal that would close the school amid dwindling enrollment.
The Terrebonne Parish School Board is set to decide April 13 whether to close the school and send its students about four miles away to Montegut Elementary.
Mary Verdin said she attended the protest because five of her children have attended Pointe-aux-Chenes Elementary, with one now in third grade.
“We have regular group meetings at the Knights of Columbus Hall to plan for strategies because this proposal completely blindsided us,” Verdin said.

It s not too late to take time to recharge and refocus your goals for 2021 while supporting a good cause.
Verdin Marketing is hosting a virtual Wellness Kickoff event this Thursday at 4 p.m. in partnership with Transitions Mental Health Association. That event will be time for people to take a step back, take a deep breath and really focus on themselves and get grounded, Verdin said.
During the event, there will be live music and drawings for wellness-oriented prizes.
Verdin says Verdin Marketing has been working with Transitions to put a full-month long media campaign focused on the re-brand of SLO Hotline to Central Coast Hotline. The SLO Hotline is a 24-hour 800-number for community members to call in times of crisis, for those or others experiencing suicidal thoughts, and as a resource.
