Remember to keep reading all summer long. Kids who don’t can lose some of their reading skills over the summer. This is so common, it has its own name—The Summer Slide! Hang on to all of the reading gains you made at school this past year. All you need to do is read at least 20 minutes a day! Yay for summer!

Here comes summer! We created a July edition full of ideas, brain-bending puzzles, and fun—starting with Boredom Busters, 20 awesome ideas to keep you entertained. I love hippos—who doesn’t? But did you know they are one of the world’s deadliest animals? There’s lots to know about hippos on page 10. Stinky feet —read page 16 and

you’ll find out why. Yuck! A family cookout sounds like a great idea, and Ryder’s Turkey Chili on page 8 will make a great family feast. Where’s my cowboy hat?

Happy July from the Bayou State! It’s summertime in Louisiana, and that means hot days, sweet tea, snowballs, and time to explore all the fun our state has to offer. Whether you’re celebrating Independence Day with fireworks over the river or just enjoying a lazy afternoon with family, I hope you’re making memories that will last all year long. But if you ever find yourself saying, “I’m bored!”—don’t worry, Louisiana is full of things to do! Some of my best memo- ries were spent outside in Louisiana. Have you ever made praline s’mores? They are delicious! Instead of chocolate, swap with a piece of Louisiana-made praline candy for a sweet twist. So this July, take time to celebrate our beautiful country and the joy of time spent together. Whether you're running through sprin- klers, fishing in the creek, or roasting those praline s’mores in your backyard, I hope this summer brings you laughter, learning, and FUN! Hugs & High Fives, First Lady Sharon Landry
