This year, Latimer Gardens Cornerstone celebrated Mardi Gras in style. Students enjoyed a fun-filled "Second Line" march and ate delicious King Cake cupcakes. In true New Orleans tradition, a tiny plastic baby is baked into each King Cake. Whoever finds a baby is said to have good luck for the year. And guess what? Every student found one! (fb)
