2023 Red Stick Mom Teacher of the Year
There are not enough ways to say THANK YOU for all that our beloved teachers have done for us and our children, especially over the last few years. Thank you for your flexibility, thank you for you putting in extra hours, thank you for coming up with creative lesson plans to keep your students engaged, thank you for spending your hard-earned money on classroom supplies.

As I am writing this, I can feel the emotions wanting to just flow all out into my typing. The most recent results of the 1 cent Fund Proposition brought more than a 'no new tax' to the Livingston Parish.

Now what? Disheartened Livingston Parish Teachers
I have not only worked in the school system, but I come from a family of teachers and a school...

Last March...
You may have noticed that all of Zoe's restaurants around town have closed and are being replaced by CAVA. Let me tell you, this is a delicious and welcome change. I was a fan of Zoe's, but CAVA is an exciting and tasty replacement.
So What is CAVA?
CAVA is a fast-casual, health-conscious Mediterranean-based restaurant that was founded in 2010. It is making its first appearance in Louisiana this year. By early March Baton Rouge will have three CAVA locations all in the former Zoe's locations (Highland & Perkins, Perkins Rowe, and Towne Center) and rumor has it more are to come. CAVA will also have locations in NOLA.
