Willow Welcomes Lafayette Mayor for Enjoyable Visit

Since she was sworn in at the beginning of the year, Monique Blanco Boulet wanted to learn more about all the good things happening at Willow Charter Academy. So, the first female mayor-president for Lafayette Parish took it upon herself to reach out and schedule a visit to get a firsthand look at what she had heard from others who sang the praises of the school.
