🐾✨ Kerr Kats Leaders Shine Bright! ✨🐾
During our Black History Month celebration, our student leaders truly rose to the occasion! They proudly led our school in the pledge and shared powerful facts about influential Black leaders who have shaped our nation’s history.
From Ruby Bridges’ courage,
to Maya Angelou’s powerful words,
to Jackie Robinson’s perseverance,
to Rosa Parks’ bravery,
to Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s groundbreaking leadership,
to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream of unity and equality —
our students reminded us that leadership, courage, and character can change the world.
These historical figures made an incredible impact on our past — and inspired our Kerr Kats to lead with confidence, kindness, and purpose today. ❤️
We are so proud of our students for honoring their legacy and showing that at Kerr, our leaders truly shine! 🌟

🐾📚Kerr Kats One School, One Book is HERE! 🐾📚
As part of our Read Across America celebration, R.V. Kerr Elementary is launching our schoolwide reading event — One School, One Book!
This year, every Kerr Kat family will be reading
✨ 8 Class Pets + 1 Squirrel ÷ 1 Dog = Chaos ✨
by Vivian Vande Velde!
Each family will receive a copy of the book today, along with a reading schedule. We encourage you to read about 15 minutes each night as a family.
Why are we so excited about this?
Because when an entire school reads the same book…
📖 Students build stronger literacy skills
💬 Conversations happen at school AND at home
❤️ Families create meaningful reading memories
🎉 And our whole community shares in the fun together!
At school, students will participate in daily discussions, activities, and trivia questions. Be ready, your child may come home talking about Twitch the squirrel or predicting what kind of chaos happens next!
We’ll also have a family participation challenge on social media, so stay tuned for ways to share your reading moments and win prizes!
Kerr families, thank you for partnering with us to build a strong culture of readers. When Kerr Kats read together, we grow together. 🐾❤️

UPDATE: Thursday, January 29, 2026
Bossier Schools will remain CLOSED for students and teachers Friday, January 30 out of an abundance of caution due to continued safety concerns on our campuses as a result of the wintry weather.
We cannot risk your children’s return to school until the thick ice accumulation melts or can be removed from awnings, walkways, bus ramps and parking lots.
Our district leaders and 12-month employees will be working Friday to get our schools and centers ready for reopening Monday, February 2, and to de-ice and prepare for another round of frigid temperatures being forecast for the weekend. This is a work day at our schools and centers, and they will not be open for normal operations.
We know this week has been unusual and Bossier Schools greatly appreciates your understanding, support and working with us to make the best of the situation.
FINAL, FINAL UPDATE (hopefully): The American Heritage Poetry Contest has been rescheduled to Wednesday, February 4th to ensure that everyone has adequate time to be prepared for the competition and allow time for set up as well. We apologize for the continuous date adjustments.
UPDATE: Wednesday, January 28, 2026
Out of an abundance of caution, all Bossier schools and district offices will remain CLOSED Thursday, January 29 as the district continues to assess the impact the recent winter storm is having on operations.
Though the ice is melting, considerable hazards remain on roadways, bus ramps, in car lines and on our school campuses, making it unsafe for our students and staff to return. In addition, the National Weather Service is forecasting freezing fog overnight and into Thursday morning, heightening the danger of traveling.
It is our hope to reopen Friday, January 30 after another day of above-freezing temperatures. We greatly appreciate your patience and understanding this week and will provide another update at 4 p.m. Thursday.
