Congratulations to Lakelynn Venable of Roseland Montessori who was a state 4H winner and participated in the annual junior wildlife tour. This tour was held August 1-3 at Grand Isle State Park. Youth participants took a boat tour of Fouchon Port Facility, visited Bird Island to view newly hatched brown pelicans. They also learned how to throw cast nets, go crabbing, and much more! The trip was earned when her record book placed 1st in the elementary division at 4H Fest and then was submitted to Baton Rouge to be judged against books from all over the state. She learned a lot and was very thankful for the experience.
Kindergarten classes at Hammond Eastside Magnet School went on a bear hunt to explore the different areas of the school. At the end of the bear hunt, the kids were able to meet their Bear Principal, Mr. Labbe.

The game was run with four boxes, having five kids per group to work on cracking the locks on each box. A timer was set for 45 minutes and everyone broke out! The last group had two minutes to spare. :)
