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.
