Roar Into EBR: Helping Families Start Strong
July 21, 2025—The Foundation for East Baton Rouge School System was proud to support the ROAR Into EBR: Enrollment Event on Saturday, July 19th—a one-of-a-kind experience designed to help families enroll their children in EBR Schools in a fun, welcoming environment. Hosted at BREC’s Baton Rouge Zoo, this event brought families together for a day filled with support, celebration, and school spirit.
From free zoo admission for enrolling families to face painting, DJ entertainment by DJ Supra Mike from Max 94.1, and prize giveaways, the day was packed with excitement. Most importantly, it offered families the chance to receive personalized, one-on-one enrollment assistance with help from EBR Schools staff. Whether enrolling a brand-new student or adding a sibling to an existing record, parents received hands-on guidance to get their children ready for a successful 2025–2026 school year.
Families who presented enrollment documentation, such as a parent/guardian ID, proof of residence, and a birth certificate, were welcomed with open arms (and open zoo gates!). Even those who didn’t have all their paperwork were encouraged to attend, with staff available to walk them through the process and outline next steps.
