Garyville — St. John Child Develop-ment Center students and their families sampled crawfish, alligator, strawberries and more as they learned about Louisiana on March 4.
James Washington helps his son Tyrese, right, get some alligator to try at the Loving Louisiana mini-festival. His nephew, Brandon Arceneaux, left, decided to pass.
The “Loving Louisiana” mini-festival was the culmination of Loving Louisiana month at the CDC.
Among the many other activities were a poster, door and bulletin board contest, gift bags for students and a Loving Louisiana museum.
The month’s activities were made possible through a grant written by teacher Alecia Johnson and awarded by the River Parishes Education Foundation.
