Cam Jordan, a defensive end for the New Orleans Saints, was nominated for the Walter Payton Man of the Year award in 2024. This was the third time he was nominated for the award. The Saints organization invited a small group of Willow Middle School students who were our Prides of the Week, and Willow staff members to participate in a surprise event honoring Cam Jordan. The event was held on Monday, Jan. 27, at the Saints meeting room. In addition, Cam Jordan made a $10,000 donation to our school. We are grateful for his support of our program.
Members of Willow High School's chapter of the National Honor Society braved the cold to pick up trash around campus and the Willow neighborhood for Heart & Soul Week.
Thanks to everyone who came out to the Generations Jam to support the Willow Symphonic Band as they prepare to compete at Festival Disney this April! We raised more than $9,000 to help ensure that every student will be able to attend the Disney trip regardless of financial need. Over the winter break, the band also had the opportunity to entertain shoppers at the Riverwalk with a festive performance.
Even Roary enjoyed the snow!!! #willow_school_nola #snowday2025 #nolaps #nolaED
