Tuesday evening, we were hosted for dinner by Sarah Usdin. Sarah spoke with our class during the orientation meeting Monday morning. Her passion for ensuring all children are given the opportunity for a quality education made a strong impression on the class. Sarah is founder and CEO of New Schools for New Orleans and was in the second graduating class of Teach for America.
For dinner, Sarah ensured we were exposed to the best of Louisiana. We had fish stew over rice, Barq's root beer, strawberries from Ponchatoula (LA), Zapp's potato chips, pralines, King Cake, and Abita beer. As well, Sarah rounded up several Michiganders currently living in New Orleans to provide a midwesterner's view of living in the Big Easy. After dinner, the group gathered around her dining room table to have our daily debriefing. Thank you Sarah!
