Dat Schoolers had a great first day back!

They picked right up where they left off. Here they are exploring how the neighborhood has changed over summer break.

While learning never really stops, it's great to have the kids together again. Dat School is back in session!

"Learning can only happen when a child is interested. If he's not interested, it's like throwing marshmallows at his head and calling it eating." -Barbara Lamping

It's another rainy day here in New Orleans. Did you know that playing outside in all kinds of weather builds resiliency? What do you do on rainy days?
