NATCHITOCHES – Northwestern State University’s Office of Recruiting donated 200 plastic water bottles to the Natchitoches Parish School Board to be distributed to students. The water bottles were intended to be used during summer cheer camps at NSU, which did not take place due to COVID-19. “Since we didn’t use the bottles, we thought it was only right to donate them to kids so each will have their own water bottle,” said Director of Recruiting Van Erikson.
