A Valentine from All 50 States!
SUMMARY: Valentine’s Day brings significant pressure, from choosing the right gifts to planning the perfect celebration, affecting people of all ages. In Mississippi, teachers creatively transform this day into meaningful learning experiences, such as teaching about the holiday’s history and promoting kindness. A notable project is “A Valentine from all 50 States,” where Mooreville Elementary students request Valentine cards from across the nation, fostering connections and geographical knowledge. This initiative underscores the holiday’s spirit of love and thoughtfulness, and encourages community involvement, highlighting how educators can turn a festive occasion into a valuable educational experience.

SUMMARY: H.D. Gibbes & Sons in Learned, Mississippi, was named one of the most legendary steakhouses in the South by *Southern Living* magazine. Originally a general store, it has been operated by the Gibbes family for generations. In 2009, they began offering steaks, lamb chops, and seafood, attracting guests from afar with live music and homemade dishes. The store’s charm includes a unique dining experience, including community seating, paper plates, and an honor system for drinks. The restaurant accepts only checks and cash, and its legendary pies are still made by Chipper’s mother, Mary Bell Gibbes.

SUMMARY: King Cakes are a traditional Mardi Gras dessert with various flavors, known for their sweet icing and colorful frosting. A plastic baby is often hidden inside, symbolizing either Baby Jesus or the king/queen of a Mardi Gras ball, with the person who finds it taking on hosting duties for the next year. King Cakes are enjoyed from Epiphany to Fat Tuesday, with different names, shapes, and fillings. Their colorful glaze (gold, green, purple) and circular shape represent a king’s crown. Many bakeries, like Crazy B’s in Pascagoula, offer these treats during the Mardi Gras season, making them a popular festive snack.
