Nolan was able to celebrate Mardi Gras today in school. His class went on parade around the school and made a special walk through my classroom.
What a fun day we had. This morning the 6-7th graders had their Mardi Gras where they sell items (food, crafts, changes to play Xbox, chances to win prizes, etc..) and the rest of the school buys tickets for these items. All the money raised goes to a different charity every year. It was my first time experiencing besides sending money to school with the boys. It was very enjoyable.
Then in the afternoon we had the student-teacher games. The 8th grade class chooses the activity we play them in. This year it was volleyball, pinball, and dodge ball. Oofta. Lots of fun, but man….is it supposed to be so tough going up against 8th grade boys. Many, if not most of them are taller than me. ;)
Then we had the pep fest getting the basketball teams ready for the Tri-County tournament (end of season).
Then to top it off, we had a staff social with lots of good snacks after school.
Very fun day, but I was beat by the time we got home.
