Thanks to everyone for making this another wonderful Mardi Gras Parade. I had a number of people (both students and staff) stop me on the bridge as I was walking back to tell me what a day brightener the kids were and how well they marched to the Mardi Gras music. They certainly outdid themselves with their costumes, waving, and noise makers. The teachers did a great job teaching everyone of the children who could talk that it was “Fat Tuesday”. One teacher told us this was the highlight of their year. (We have got to get them out more!!!!) The Marquette parents who came over to see their little ones parade were most appreciative of the Libraries’ hospitality, and the staff that gave up their breaks to cheer on the marching units made it extra special for our guests. One little girl told me she felt just like a Princess with everyone cheering her. So thanks to all who herded our marching units up the stairs and elevators, provided animal crackers and juice (and especially those who wrangled those TEENY TINY little straws out of the wrappers and into the juice box), came to wave and cheer on the marchers, helped with coats, picked up glitter and streamers, and comforted the inevitable criers who did not want to leave the libraries. But especially thanks to all the wonderful children and teachers who came on over and brought a little bit of New Orleans with them. Have a great Mardi Gras. Susan Stawicki-Vrobel
