Hi friends!, This time of year is one of my favorites in Louisiana. There is so much to celebrate, learn, and of course, plenty of Mardi Gras fun! Mardi Gras is one of the most exciting traditions we have in Louisiana. I love seeing the parades, hearing the music, and watching everyone smile as the floats roll by. One of my favorite Mardi Gras treats is King Cake. It is colorful, sweet, and fun to share with family and friends. And if you find the baby inside, lucky you! But it’s not just Mardi Gras; we also celebrate Presidents’ Day! This day is a great time to learn about past presidents, read a book about history, or talk about what makes a good leader. Speaking of leaders, have you ever heard of Katherine G. Johnson? She was a Math STAR who helped plan NASA space missions. You will learn more about her as you dive deep into this month’s newsletter! I hope this edition brings you joy, curiosity, and maybe even a slice of King Cake, too. Keep learning, having fun, and enjoying everything that makes Louisiana such a special place! Hugs and high fives, Sharon Landry
