The Lafayette Parish School System would like to announce that the St. Basil Knights of Columbus Council No. 10721 donated funds to three Lafayette Parish school libraries. The donations will go to Charles Burke Elementary, Ridge Elementary, and Judice Middle. The money donated will be used to buy new library books for students. Loretta Williams Durand, Principal of Charles Burke Elementary, said "We really appreciate this donation from the Knights of Columbus. The books we order will help us to promote a love of books and reading."
