Immaculate Conception School

Today we conclude our longevity spotlight series by celebrating two wonderful members of our Pre-K2 team who are marking 5 years of service to our Charger community! 💙⚡️

Congratulations to Mrs. Rachel Carite and Ms. Alexis Jones on this special milestone!

For the past five years, these dedicated educators have helped make our Pre-K2 classrooms places filled with learning, laughter, love, and plenty of memorable moments. Working with some of our youngest Chargers takes a special kind of patience, energy, and heart, and both Mrs. Rachel and Ms. Alexis bring those qualities each and every day!

Congratulations to Mrs. Rachel and Ms. Alexis, and thank you to every member of our faculty and staff for the countless ways you make ICS such a special place!
From 5 years to 45 years, and every number in between, each milestone tells a story of dedication, impact, and Charger pride!⚡️💙

Today’s longevity spotlight celebrates four amazing educators who are marking 10 YEARS of service to our Charger community! 💙⚡️

First, we recognize Mrs. Kayla Sparacina! Mrs. Kayla’s connection to ICS goes far beyond her 10 years on staff. As an ICS alumna, Charger mom, and beloved Pre-K2 teacher, she truly embodies what it means to be part of the Charger family. Her love for our youngest learners shines through in everything she does!

Next is Mrs. Nichelle Nash! Mrs. Nash first joined ICS as a 1st grade teacher before finding her home in Pre-K4. Known for her sweet spirit and nurturing heart, she has a special way of making every child feel loved, valued, and confident!

We also celebrate Mrs. Melissa Romano, who has spent the last decade helping shape young minds in 3rd grade. Her dedication to her students and commitment to helping them grow academically and personally have made a lasting impact on countless Chargers.

Last, but certainly not least, is Mrs. Jessica Nieves! Mrs. Nieves has truly called ICS home for most of her life. An ICS alumna herself, she has been part of the Charger community since the 1990s. As a 2nd grade teacher, Charger mom, and daughter of longtime kindergarten teacher Mrs. Sally Gaudet, her roots run deep, and her love for ICS is woven into every part of her story!

Congratulations to these four incredible women on 10 years of dedication, service, and love for our Charger family! Thank you for helping make ICS such a special place for generations of students. 💙⚡️

❤️‍🔥✝️Did you know there is a film about the Sacred Heart of Jesus? Experience the story of St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, the devotion that transformed generations, and the message of the Sacred Heart of Jesus brought to life on the big screen in theaters June 9, 11 & 14 (English) and June 10 (Spanish). This is the same week that we celebrate the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart and the U.S. bishops will consecrate the United States to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. As well, Archbishop Checchio will consecrate the Archdiocese of New Orleans to the Sacred Heart of Jesus that weekend.

📣In light of this, Fr. Stephen is *rescheduling* his planned reflection on the Sacred Heart of Jesus from June 9th to allow parishioners who are interested the opportunity to attend the 7PM screening on that date at the Westbank AMC theater. (There are currently only 15 seats remaining in the rear of the theater and 22 in the front, as of this post.) Over two dozen parishioners have already purchased seats.

If you cannot attend the June 9th screening, you can find additional showtimes and reserve your seats by visiting SacredHeartFilm.us

🙏A “Cinema Novena” begins tomorrow June 1st leading up to the release of the film on June 9th. Follow along at SacredHeartFilm.us

Today’s longevity spotlight shines on a very special member of our Charger family, Mrs. Charlotte Billiot, as she celebrates 20 years of service to ICS! 💙⚡️

For the past 20 years, Mrs. Charlotte has been a dedicated Kindergarten Assistant! What makes Mrs. Charlotte’s story even more special is that her connection to ICS began long before she joined our staff. She was a proud Charger mom while her two children attended ICS, and today she gets the joy of sharing our campus with her three grandsons. 💙

Few people can say they’ve experienced ICS through so many different seasons…as a parent, staff member, and grandparent. Mrs. Charlotte’s love for this community is evident in everything she does.

Congratulations, Mrs. Charlotte, on 20 wonderful years of service to ICS! Thank you for being such an important part of the Charger family. ✨

Today’s longevity spotlight celebrates two wonderful members of our Charger family who are marking an incredible 25 YEARS of service to ICS! 💙⚡️

First, we recognize Mrs. Becky Vallee! For 25 years, Mrs. Becky has lovingly cared for some of our youngest Chargers, spending much of her career helping our two-year-olds learn, grow, and thrive. Countless families have benefited from her patience, wisdom, and nurturing spirit during those important early years!

Also celebrating 25 years is Mrs. Carman Matherne, our dedicated Business Manager. While she works tirelessly behind the scenes making sure everything runs smoothly and the bills get taken care of, many students know her best for another important role… being the voice behind the beloved “Happy Friday!” song during our morning announcements! 🎶😊

Mrs. Becky and Mrs. Carman, thank you both for 25 years of dedication, laughter, and love for our Charger community. Your contributions have helped make ICS the special place it is today.

Congratulations to both on this amazing milestone! 💙⚡️

💙🎾🤍The Father Jimmy Jeanfreau Memorial Tennis & Pickleball Tournament is underway. After days of no sun, we can’t help but think Fr. Jimmy may have had something to do with the beautiful weather out here at City Park. Thanks to all of our players and sponsors.

Today’s longevity spotlight celebrates FOUR incredible members of our Charger family who are marking 30 YEARS of dedication to ICS! 💙⚡️

First up is our very own Mrs. Zetta Gauthe! Over the years, Mrs. Gauthe has worn many hats at ICS, beginning as a 3rd grade teacher before moving into middle school math and now serving as Assistant Principal for grades 3rd-7th. Her leadership, knowledge, and love for our students and staff continue to help shape the heart of our school community each and every day.

Next is Mrs. Donna Reyer (not pictured), who is truly the heartbeat of our Nursery program. 💕 For 30 years, Mrs. Donna has cared for, loved, rocked, soothed, and nurtured hundreds and hundreds of babies through their very first experiences at ICS. So many families have trusted her with their littlest loves, and her gentle care has left a lasting impact on generations of Charger families!

Our next honoree is middle school ELA teacher, Mrs. Terri Scheibe! 📚 Anyone who has ever stepped foot into Mrs. Scheibe’s classroom has certainly walked out knowing their prepositions… and probably singing them too! 🎶 Her passion for teaching and ability to make learning memorable have impacted countless students over the years.

And last, but certainly not least, Coach Scott Walker! ⚡️ From teaching PE, coaching just about every sport imaginable, serving as our award-winning Athletic Director, as well as Director of Community Relations…Coach Walker has done it all! His energy, dedication, school spirit, and love for ICS can be seen in every corner of Charger Nation!

Congratulations to these four amazing Chargers on 30 years of service, love, and commitment to the ICS community!

Our next longevity spotlight shines on someone who has worn many hats throughout her incredible 40 years at ICS… Mrs. Gaye Molaison! 💙

Over the years, Mrs. Molaison has touched the lives of countless students and families as a beloved first grade teacher, librarian, and runs our SMART Lab! Her dedication and love for learning have made such a lasting impact on our Charger community through every chapter of her journey at ICS!

Mrs. Molaison recently shared this beautiful photo from her summer travels in Italy, where she visited the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception at the Vatican! ✨🇮🇹

Congratulations, Mrs. Molaison, on 40 amazing years of service to ICS!

At the end of each school year, our faculty and staff gather for a special farewell luncheon, where we take time to celebrate the incredible people who make our Charger community so special. One of our favorite traditions is recognizing faculty and staff members reaching milestone years of service… 5, 10, 15, 20, and beyond!

Over the next few days, follow along as we shine a spotlight on these dedicated Chargers whose love, commitment, and service have helped shape Immaculate Conception School for generations.

And where better to begin than at the very TOP… our very own Mrs. Roxanne Rawle! 💙

To know her is truly to love her. For an incredible 45 YEARS .. yes, FORTY-FIVE YEARS, Mrs. Rawle has been a steady presence, a source of love, guidance, and care, and such an important part of the heart of ICS! Anyone who has stepped foot on our campus over the past four and a half decades has undoubtedly felt the impact of her kindness and dedication.

Mrs. Rawle, thank you for 45 years of service, leadership, and love for our Charger community. Your legacy is woven into the story of ICS, and we are so incredibly grateful for you! 💙
