In Mardi Gras terms the phrase "Throw me something mister!" would get you just about anything being tossed over the side of a huge float brightly decorated and festively arranged! At Jessica's school the phrase took on a whole new meaning! The Kindgergarten classes at her school got together and provided "throws" for the entire student body the day before school let out for a week long Mardi Gras break! "Throws" include beaded necklaces, plastic cups, stuffed animals, balls, masks, candy, and moon pies! (Moon pies: chocolate covered marshmallow stuffed cookies - can also be found in Banana flavor.)
Up and down the hallways each grade level had their group of students sit on the floor and wait for the afternoon parade to begin! Jessica had lots of fun throwing to her brother, Kenny, and many other neighborhood friends. Her costume was made in class along with the mask that she refused to wear because she said she couldn't "see".
I have never heard such loud screaming in a school! My ears had a ringing in them that lasted for hours after the event. After the Kindergarten students had made their rounds through school they were treated by a special parade put on by the Principal, Dr. Foster, and his staff who wore costumes and threw beads making sure each child got a handful of everything! What a fun way for the school to celebrate Mardi Gras!
