Capseta awaits word on state teacher of the year
After entering the United States in 2020 during Hurricane Laura, Ville Platte Elementary French Immersion teacher Jessica Capseta and her family from the South of France were displaced after arriving in the country and learning she would not be able to teach French as planned at a school in Lake Charles. A native of Carcassonne, a small village of about 500 people in the South of France, Capseta was an elementary school teacher at a school back home. She recalled, “It’s a really tiny school. There are just two classrooms. So I taught 15 students from the 2nd grade to the 5th grade.”
