It’s time to welcome another new faculty member for the 22-23 school year!! We are excited to introduce Kyli Dupre who will be joining our Kindergarten team! 💚💛
Hi! My name is Kyli Dupre and I am so excited to join the Leblanc Elementary family. I am 23 years old and I am originally from Pierre Part, LA. I am a recent graduate of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette in Early Childhood Education and this will be my first official year of teaching!. I now live in Lafayette, LA with my two pups.
In the past I worked with children in many different grade-levels at a local preschool and that is what helped me figure out that my passion is teaching! I spent my year-long residency at Martial F. Billeaud in Youngsville with a kindergarten class. They taught me so much over that year and I am thrilled to start my own journey!
Kind regards,
Kyli
💚💛We are excited to introduce another new member of our 22-23 faculty! Please help us welcome Kristel Degee! Kristel will be teaching our Kindergarten French Immersion students.💚💛
Bonjour,
Thank you so much for your welcome.
I can't wait to join the LeBlanc family and be a part of this adventure!
So, let me introduce myself.
My name is Kristel Degée and I am 24 years old. I live in Belgium, in a very small town surrounded by fields. What a peaceful place! I like to take my dogs and go for a walk. I can't spend a day without listening to music. It just makes me feel so good.
I have been a preschool teacher since 2019. During those 3 years, I had the opportunity to work with different grades and different schools. It was very enriching. I used all these experiences to build my own identity as a teacher. Every year is filled with joy, excitement, sharing, love... and stress of course! But that's the beauty of this work!
I love traveling! I went to the United States several times and I was blown away by the kindness and the joviality of Americans. Louisiana will be my first foreign working experience. So, I am very excited to discover another culture, to meet new people and to eat delicious food.
See you soon!
Kristel
Congratulations EHS Class of 2022! 💙

Aiden began his Spelling Bee journey in Mrs. Katie’s 3rd grade class, here at LES! We are so proud of you and wish you all the best luck Aiden!
LeBlanc TAG students presented their final presentations of their National Park at the Abbeville Public Library. Avery Myers, Tenli Touchet, and Mason Touchard were awesome! Avery even had a hands on demonstration of why her National Park was the BEST!! It was a GREAT afternoon!!
Thank you Gulf Coast Bank for the gift basket for our teachers!
We sure love our speech pathologists and we hope that you both have the very best day! All of our little lions in speech are so very lucky to have you!
Our next new faculty member for the 22-23 school year is Vanessa!! We can't wait to meet you!!
My name is Vanessa Lee, I am 43 years old and I live in the South of France, in the beautiful region of Provence. I have been working as an elementary school teacher for 7 years. I chose to be a substitute teacher to get to work in different grades, schools and teach a very wide range of student ages. I really enjoy working in a team of passionate colleagues and get involved in new projects. I previously worked in the pharmaceutical industry in Paris as an International Marketing and Sales Coordinator. I lived in Canada for 4 years, in Toronto and Ottawa. I love travelling, cooking and watersports (can’t wait to go on a kayak excursion in the bayou !).
I will be coming to Louisiana with my husband Jeremy who is British and my two sons aged 15 and 12. We went to the United States a few times on holiday and we enjoyed the fabulous landscapes, the vibrant cities and the kindness of the people. We are really looking forward to moving to Louisiana and discovering the Cajun way of life, the food and culture! See you soon at Leblanc Elementary School!
Aveda came to visit LeBlanc for Teacher appreciation!!
✨We would like to welcome our first new faculty member for the 22-23 school year!! Welcome Pierre!✨
My name is Pierre Le Quéré, I am 32 years old and I live in Lyon, France.
I have been teaching since 2016 as a substitute teacher, so I taught on every school levels from preschool to elementary school ("Petite Section de Maternelle" to "CM2" in France corresponding "pre-kindergarden" to "5th grade").
In the 2021-2022 schoolyear, I have been assigned with a 3rd grade class (CE2) for the entire year. So I am even happier to be the first third grade french immersion teacher.
I have already travelled in USA in 2018 (visited Washington, DC; New York City; Boston; Cape Cod; Chicago) but this is my first foreign working experience. I am very excited to discover an other part of the USA and living here in Louisiana.
Concerning myself, I practice a lot of sports (crossfit, basket-ball, running, ski, surf...) and i love to discover new activities. I am also interested in travelling, reading, meeting people... I try to be curious about everything.
I am looking forward to discover my new workplace.
Faithfully yours,
Pierre LE QUERE
