It Was a 'Flippin' Good Day'!

Today is Shrove Tuesday, or Pancake Tuesday. This is a special day that dates back many centuries. Historically, this day allowed households to use up all of the fat and 'goodies' before entering into the forty day Lenten fasting season. Here at Parnall School, the kindergarten children feasted on all the pancakes they could eat, along with juice, syrup, fresh strawberries and freshly cut bananas. Take a look...

There were many happy tummies and smiling faces by the end of our celebration. Thanks so much to our parent volunteer who fried the majority of our several hundred pancakes. And a big 'SHOUT OUT' goes to the students in Mrs. Watson and Mr. Waldie's classes for setting up the gymnasium, serving pancakes and fruit, cutting up pancakes for our youngest kinders, pouring syrup, and helping in every way to ensure that the event moved smoothly. You were AMAZING!!!
