🎭💜💛💚 Mardi Gras Magic at Brown Elementary! 💚💛💜🎭
Laissez les bon temps rouler! 🎉 Our Pre-K and Kinder students had an unforgettable Mardi Gras celebration in the Café, filled with festive fun, learning, and delicious treats!
With Principal Sarah Vinklarek and our amazing Café Staff leading the way, the little ones got a taste of Louisiana with some yummy Cajun cuisine. But the real highlight? King Cake!
Between bites, our young learners discovered the traditions of Mardi Gras—colorful parades, vibrant masks, and the meaning behind the purple, gold, and green. They may not have been in New Orleans, but the Brown Elementary Café sure felt like Bourbon Street today! 🎭🎺
What a fun way to bring culture and celebration to our school! Until next year—Laissez les bon temps rouler! 💜💛💚 #MardiGrasAtBrown #KingCakeFun #CajunDelights #LittleLearnersBigCelebration #SmithvvilleTx
🎉🎩🎂 Dr. Seuss Day—Oh, What a Delight! 🎂🎩🎉
In our school, on this fine, fun-filled day,
We read and we rhymed in a Seussical way!
With laughter and smiles, the kids were so keen,
To dive into stories—oh, what a scene!
And oh, the menu! It was Seuss-tacular too,
With treats that were tasty and silly to chew!
🐔 Hop on Pop Chicken—so crispy, so yummy,
A Seuss-y surprise for each little tummy!
🍓🔵 Red Sea, Blue Sea Jello—a wiggly delight,
With fish swimming on top—oh, what a sight!
🥕🌱 Colors of Veggieville—carrots so bright,
And celery so crisp—what a colorful bite!
🍟 The Lorax’s Favorite Potato—crunchy and fun,
The fries disappeared—yes, every last one!
🧸 Thing One, Thing Two Teddy Grahams—oh my,
The kids munched them up in the blink of an eye!
🌯 Turkey Roll-Ups, Wrapped Just Right—
A tasty delight in each little bite!
With giggles and grins, what a wonderful way,
To celebrate Seuss on this magical day! 🎉📚💙❤️
