After several years of waiting, work finally began in January on the City of Abbeville’s downtown streetscape project.

What are your plans after high school?
I plan to attend the University of Louisiana at Lafayette and major in Early Childhood Development. With this degree I would plan to teach for a few years before pursuing opening a daycare of my own.

Who is/was your favorite teacher?
Coach Amelia Broussard was my favorite teacher. As well as being my cross country and track coach, Coach Amelia was a great role model, friend, and beacon of faith to me, my teammates, and all of her students.

Family and friends originally had plans to throw a huge birthday party for Elvina Frederick Campbell this past weekend because she turned 100 years old on Monday. But because of the COVID-19 pandemic, a different kind of party had to take place for Campbell.
“There was a big party planned for her Sunday that we didn’t get to have, but we have to do something for her turning 100 years old, no matter what is happening,” said daughter Gail Collins.
