Want to Help Lafayette, La. Teachers? Check Out Their Wishlists

We're well into July, and across the state, which means the new school year is coming up fast. We know the kids are feeling the looming school year, but so are the teachers

As teachers prepare for the school year, they begin to take stock of what they need. Tragically, they end up paying a good bit out of pocket for basic supplies as well as unique touches to make their classroom a comfortable space for students, and while it doesn't go unappreciated, it is definitely something that we can help with.

#ClearTheList

Every year, there is a movement on social media to help teachers #ClearTheList - that is, help them pick up the things they need in their classrooms without having to pay so much out of pocket. This year, we want to give them a hand and share as many of those lists as possible, and we'd love to see these teachers fill up their classrooms.

We asked on Facebook, and y'all answered.

The #ClearTheList movement is not a formal event, but every year, folks all over social media pitch in to help teachers in need. If you check out the hashtag on social media, you'll find a lot of teachers who are looking for as much help as they can get.

And if you or someone you know is a Lafayette teacher who is not on this list, tell them to go to our social media page and comment on this story with their list. Let's help all our Lafayette teachers #ClearTheList.

The Most Cajun Things to Throw on the Grill This Summer

We like to do things differently in Louisiana, and when it comes to cooking we're no exception. Some folks even like to toss these non-conventional foods on the grill every now and then.
