I want to thank all of you for the great work you do each day for the students of Louisiana!
I am D’Shay Oaks, a middle school librarian and teacher from Concordia parish, who currently serves as your Louisiana Association of Educators President. I am a twenty-eight-year veteran teacher who taught at Vidalia Junior High. Some activities I enjoy outside of work are painting, playing board games, and playing games on my phone. I love animals, especially dogs. I have a spoiled rotten fur baby, named Buttons!
My why?
As a teacher –to make a difference and wanted my students to become productive citizens.
As LAE President – advocate for all educators around the state especially our members.
Four Things to Remember
1. Every student wants to know that you care about them.
2. Have a trusted colleague to ask questions too.
3. Take care of yourself (Self-Care).
4. LAE is here for you.
If you have an event or meeting, don’t hesitate to invite me and I will come if my calendar allows. As you start this school year, remember LAE is here for you!
Praying you have a great school year,
D’Shay Oaks
