Hello! I am Mrs. Lauren Thibodeaux, the art teacher for all grades Pre-K through 5th at Forest Hill Elementary in Caddo Parish. I love teaching art and seeing our students imagine, create, and try new things. We also learn about art techniques, art history, artists, and art around the world.

I am married, have a wonderful toddler boy, a dog Toto, and a bird named Chuck. I'm from Shreveport. I graduated from Louisiana Tech University in Ruston with a Bachelor's of Science in Elementary Education 1-5. I also have a certification in Library Science from the University of Louisiana- Monroe. I've been teaching since 2011. I taught fourth grade for one year in Albania at an international school. Then I taught third grade in Caddo Parish for five years. I have loved teaching art! ​
