Good morning, Little School Family!
Today is the Mighty Krewe of Centaur Parade! I have proudly been a member of this Krewe for 15 years. Last year, I decided to become a sponsor. While many of you may already know this, my decision was about much more than just today’s parade. Throughout the year, this Krewe gives back to the community and supports many important causes — from toy drives for children to helping local food banks and so much more.
If you can’t make it to the parade today, you can watch it on KSLA. If you are attending, be sure to look for our sponsor name, take pictures, and have an amazing time! The weather is beautiful today, so please stay safe. My family and I hope to see our Little School Family out there enjoying the festivities. Be sure to send us pictures — we love seeing them!
If you can’t attend today’s parade, I will also be participating in the Krewe of Barkus and Meoux Pet Parade. My dog, Sadie, is the Royal Princess this year, and we absolutely love being part of this organization. This Krewe also gives back to our community by raising awareness for animals who do not have a voice. We support shelters, foster animal homes, visit the Ochsner Pediatrics floor to brighten children’s days, and visit nursing homes to give residents special time with animals they may miss dearly. This year, we also awarded two scholarships to students pursuing education in animal-related fields.
Come out and see us Sunday! The gates open at 11:00 AM, and the parade begins at 2:00 PM. Bring your pets — this is a wonderful, family-friendly event! Stop by, say hello, and grab some goodies.
This is truly my favorite time of the year, and I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend.
See you soon, and Happy Mardi Gras!
