The Bossier Parish School District recently surprised and honored Karla Horton as its first Gold Star recipient for the 2024-25 school year for the month of September.
With the unwavering support of her amazing team in the Child Nutrition department, Horton was the powerhouse behind the summer meal program. Over six weeks, they distributed a staggering 38,000 boxes, equating to 530,000 meals.
From setting up locations, ordering storage containers, and ensuring meal boxes were delivered (even staying at one school in the middle of the night for a delivery), her tireless efforts made a profound impact on the community.
