Mardi Gras Celebration, March 5
Dear Parents and WCA Community,
We are thrilled to announce our French Celebration: Fêtons au Carnaval on
March 5!
The tradition and festivities of Mardi Gras started back in the 18th century in the settlement of Fort Louis de la Mobile, in what is now known as the state of Louisiana. By the 1730's, elegant balls were held in New Orleans. One hundred years later, Mardi Gras Celebrations evolved as a carnival theme with the procession of maskers. In 1875, Governor Warmoth signed the ''Mardi Gras Act'' and declared this celebration a legal holiday.
The Mardi Gras Carnival was not the only tradition brought by the French colonists. In 1854, another carnival was held in North America, Le Carnaval de Québec, in the province of Quebec in Canada. The cold climate in Quebec did not prevent people from warming up with the festivities.
At World Compass Academy, we will create a festive atmosphere for Mardi Gras. All World Language students will make props and necklaces during the week of February 25. French students will perform during a school assembly on
Tuesday, March 5, at 1:30pm in the gym. Parents are invited!
On Mardi Gras, what can a student wear?
March 5 is a Formal Uniform Day for our students. Students are allowed to wear beads (can be worn all day) and bring a mask (to be worn ONLY during the assembly).
French students ONLY are allowed to wear a solid colored top in gold, green or purple (with blue or khaki bottoms).
We still need volunteers to help with this celebration...
SIGN-UP HERE!
We hope you can join us and laisse le bon temps roulé...let the good time rolls!
Au plaisir de vous voir bientôt...pleasure to see you soon.
