Bossier Parish Public Schools might be out for Labor Day, but they still have a lot going on this coming week.

They get started tomorrow, September 4, when Benton High Principal Teri Howe hits the road, bound for St. Amant High School in Ascension Parish. There, she'll deliver a load of school and classroom supplies, uniforms and other items collected by 'Tiger Nation.'

Benton High also raised money for St. Amant and Mrs. Howe will present a check to St. Amant's principal to help students and staff get back on their feet.

According to a Bossier Schools news release, St. Amant High will not be inhabitable until 2017. About 70% of the students and faculty were displaced by the flood.

"My faith in humanity is restored," said St. Amant's principal. "I am so sad for my seniors that will lose the true experience of being a senior at St. Amant."

Here are some other events going on at Bossier Schools for the upcoming week:

Monday, Sept. 5

Patriot Day Ceremony and "22 Push-Ups Challenge"

In remembrance of the victims that lost their lives on 9/11, Parkway High School will be hosting a Patriot Day Ceremony. Following the ceremony, students will take part in the "22 Push-Ups Challenge" as part of Suicide Awareness Week. It is a culmination of awareness activities that will have taken place throughout the week at Parkway.

Everyday, an average of 22 veterans commit suicide. The Panthers will participate in the '33-second Plank' to bring awareness to the national teen suicide rate of 11 per day. We would welcome our media partners' participation in these two challenges. Show us what you've got and help Parkway raise awareness about suicide, a societal problem that is pervasive across the nation.

A designated portion of each smoothie sale will be designated for Southside Elementary.
