In early December, Scotlandville Middle Pre-Engineering Academy and the Big Buddy Program teamed up for the school’s First Annual Literacy Night.

In addition, the T-Steps Steppers performed prior to a literacy rotation, hands-on event.
Representatives also were on hand with C-SPAN’s 2011 Cities Local Content Vehicles (LCV) Cities Tour, which visited East Baton Rouge schools recently. Using Ford Transit Connect vehicles, the program tours city schools across the nation and records unique public affairs programming for its Book TV (C-SPAN2) and American History TV (C-SPAN3) broadcast content.
