Mardi Gras has come and gone and we have officially moved into Lent as we prepare for the Easter season.
For local families, that means spring festivals, Easter egg hunts, and plenty of family fun events in New Iberia, Abbeville, Breaux Bridge and Morgan City. This is the time of year that many local families enjoy, even through their busy schedules as they prepare for the end of the school year. Summer plans are in full swing and we are here to support busy parents with the resources, news, and events they need to help make plans for the next couple of months.
Do you enjoy our newsletter and resources? If so, I do have an ask for our followers this week.
Can you share one of our resources with another busy parent that you know? It could be your favorite article from the website, our event calendar, or one of our sponsored post. The growth and stability of this family resource truly depends on the support from our families as well as local businesses and organizations. We have so much planned for for 2025 but we need support from our communities to keep Macaroni KID New Iberia Abbeville Breaux Bridge as an active resource for local families.
We have a few hot pics that we'd like to highlight for our families to check out in this week's newsletter:
