On March 4th, the World Language Honor Society (WLHS) had their Mardi Gras celebration party. Mardi Gras, also known as Fat Tuesday, is a festive day of parades, parties, and eating before the fasting season of Lent. WLHS covered the cafeteria with green, purple, and gold. The colors represent justice, faith, and power. The students ate famous New Orleans foods such as King’s Cake, shrimp, and Jambalaya. Students decorated masks and watched Princess and the Frog, which takes place in New Orleans, the birthplace of Mardi Gras. Thank you to all of the participants that baked and cooked for the event!
