Dear Readers,

May is a time to honor teachers, nurses, brothers, sisters, and moms for all they do to help us and look after us. It’s also the coming of summer, the celebration of Cinco de Mayo, and at the very end of the month, Memorial Day, when we remember, and honor, those who died for our country. That’s a lot of things to think about this month. The magic of science comes alive on our Stemdini pages. Fool your friends with these clever tricks that all have their basis in science. There’s some fascinating information about Cats in this month’s issue. Apparently, an Egyptian goddess was illustrated
with the head of a cat. With the weather warming and summer just around the corner, we want to make you aware of the importance of Water Safety. Knowing how to be safe in a pool or at the ocean is essential — so this page comes just at the right time. So, enjoy this action-packed issue and take time out of the month to thank those mothers and others who help you through your day and through the month of May. Happy May,

Dear friends, May is such a fun time in Louisiana! The weather is warm, the flowers are blooming, and it’s the perfect time to get outside and play. At the Governor’s Mansion, we love spending time on the tennis courts and going on walks with our dog, Blanc. He especially loves sniffing around and enjoying the sunshine just like we do! This month, I hope you’ll pick up a good book and start reading. Whether it’s a silly story, an adventure, or your favorite book you’ve read before, reading helps your imagination grow and can take you anywhere! As we get closer to Memorial Day, we take time to remember and honor the brave heroes who helped protect our country. It’s a special day to say thank you and learn why their service matters. With summer right around the corner, it’s also important to think about water safety. If you’re swimming or playing near water, always stay close to a grown-up and follow safety rules so you can have fun and stay safe. We’re also celebrating our furry friends — especially cats! Even Blanc loves them (he’s always very curious when he sees one on our walks). Pets bring us so much joy and remind us to be kind and caring every day. I hope your May is filled with sunshine, fun, and lots of learning. Hugs and high fives, Sharon Landry
