Two students represented the Vermilion Parish School Board at the Governor’s Mansion in Baton Rouge on November 14, 2007.  The two students selected were Blake Lee- Bessard and Kristi Etheridge both Kaplan High Students.  Both are students of Charlotte Broussard, the talented art teacher for the parish.  The students painted ornaments using acrylic paint.  Kristi Etheridge did a panoramic landscape with cattails in the foreground and tree line in the distance with Christmas balls in them and the cattails.  Blake Lee-Bessard did a monochromatic blue and white ball with a Louisiana blue crab in foreground and stars and snowflakes in background. Both are lettered with "Vermilion" and student's signature '07.  They will hang on the tree at  the Governor's mansion for the Christmas season. Congratulations on a job well done representing Vermilion Parish.
