Through the Acadiana Educational Endowment, founded in 1989, students throughout the Acadiana area have received funding for all aspects of education.
The current focus of AEE is the ReadingWithKids.org program, which encourages parents to read to children, focusing on the critical prenatal to pre-kindergarten period.
In support of this endeavor, Sheriff Bobby J. Guidroz and the St. Landry Parish Sheriff’s Office have placed stickers on the back of its vehicles with the quote:
Read with your kids every night. They will be smarter & more successful…
…and they won’t have to deal with us later on.“
Sheriff Bobby J. Guidroz
Nothing is more important during the early, developing years of a child’s life, than to encourage learning. The learning of all things positive, imaginative and creative can initiate so much productive purpose in a child’s mind. What a great way for a parent to be involved in their child’s early learning.
We would encourage everyone to explore this organization and their programs, contribute if you can and pass this on to others.
