Carneval at Massillon

Last Thursday, the children had "Carneval" at school. They were allowed to dress up and have a parade for the parents. The kids had a great time dancing and playing in the courtyard. Sugar and nutella crepes were served for snacks. Here in France, crepes, beignets and bugnes are traditionally eaten during this time of year, Lent season. Most schools held parades on Mardi Gras, Fat Tuesday, the day before Lent begins. Our school, Ecole Massillon, decided to wait until mid-Lent to have its celebration because the weather is usually better. And it certainly was!

John was Superman and Lauren was a USA cheerleader. The event is mostly for the primary school children, but the secondary kids couldn't resist the party! Maya and Daniele were there to participate and do a little electric slide, macarana and chicken dancing!!! I love to dance, so I had a great time too!
