Department will recognize two classrooms monthly that showcase their Ragin’ Cajuns pride
LAFAYETTE – Louisiana Athletics will honor local classrooms in Lafayette Parish that consistently showcase their Ragin' Cajuns pride by naming them the Ragin' Cajuns Classroom of the Month, presented by McDonald's.
Â
Each month, the department will highlight two classrooms, ranging from Kindergarten to 6th grade, that go above and beyond to support the Ragin' Cajuns.
Â
"Our outreach through Acadiana and the state continues to be a top priority, even during the unique and challenging 2020 calendar year and beyond," said Nico Yantko, Deputy Director of Athletics/External Operations. "We want to see every kid in school to wear a Ragin' Cajuns shirt proudly. It's incredibly important for us to showcase our great University to the young people of our community and their families."
Â
Winning classrooms will receive t-shirts, Louisiana Athletics activity sheets, McDonald's coupons and additional prizes. Winners will also have a photo of their classrooms featured on Louisiana Athletics' social media platforms.
Â
At the end of the school year, all previous winners will be eligible to win the grand prize, which will be a catered meal by one of the department's restaurant partners.
Â
To nominate a classroom, teachers are encouraged to fill out the Classroom of the Month form at RaginCajuns.com/classroom. Winners will be notified by email.
