St. Mark's Cathedral School third graders gave their families a little "Taste of Louisiana" on February 23 with their annual presentation which included songs, artwork, public speaking, and of course delicious Louisiana food. The program began with students parading into the Parish Hall Mardi Gras-style. Each student then presented information researched on a Louisiana food product or natural resource. The event concluded with a lunch where students sampled each of the foods they presented.

"Taste of Louisiana" was the culmination of a social living project that not only included writing, research, and public speaking, but it also incorporated several enrichment classes. In art, students created artwork featuring the Louisiana state insect honeybees, pages from John James Audubon's notebook, and classic Southern recipes. In computers, students prepared Google Slides on their research topics. In music, students learned and performed several songs for the presentation.
