Mardi Gras !

Before break we celebrated Mardi Gras with authentic food, music, and costumes. Here are some photos from the day.


One student brought in gumbo, a Louisianian stew.


The galette des rois is festive in the official Mardi Gras colors!

A creative mask!


Another galette des rois.


Students who brought in food for their class.
