St. Patrick’s Day is Tomorrow!
Do you get decked out in green and go see a parade? I was in my high schools marching band as the banner holder, we marched in a big St. Patrick’s Day parade every year. Usually it was cold and either snowy or rainy, but we always had a blast. If you do go to see a parade which part of the parade is your favorite? Let us know in the comments section of the Facebook post. Does a leprechaun visit your house? We have one that comes to our house and leaves green foot prints on the toilet seat and fake gold coins all around the house. When I was in third grade a leprechaun came to our class room during lunch and put green streamers on our lockers, flipped our desks upside down or stacked them on top of each other, and wrote all over our chalk board. Have fun celebrating St. Patrick’s Day! Martin Harding and Mazzotti will be having the free cab ride home program running on the 17th.
