Francie - Mardi Gras

Arriving to school,
Purple, green  and gold everywhere. 
Teachers trying to teach, 
But no one seems to care. 

Ten minutes left, 
And no one can sit still. 
The bell rings, 
And everyone runs. 
Fried chicken and macaroni,
The highlight of the month. 

The sound of our favorite band 
Starts to fill the air. 
They fill the front courtyard 
As the whole school is as happier than ever.

This is just a glimpse of Mardi Gras at Sacred Heart.
 
Francie, age 17
