It’s gratifying to witness our club’s continuing support and value for higher education. I appreciate the constant dedication, positive commitment and passion displayed by our club and particularly the Scholarship Committee members.

“Current Scholarship Chairmen’s, Danny Bourgeois and Mitch Perkins commented, For many years the St. Bernard- Arabi Kiwanis Club has a storied history of supporting educational programs at all levels in St. Bernard Parish.

TERRIFIC KIDS
Terrific Kids is a student recognition program that promotes character development, self-esteem, and perseverance. Students work with their classroom teacher and establish goals to improve behavior, peer relationships, attendance, or schoolwork. Students then work toward achieving the goal during a specific time period. The teachers and principal determine the best schedule for recognition.
