French Club deccorates masks for Mardi Gras
This is the sixth French Club meeting and one of the last. The winning masks will be displayed outside the French room. This is room 115.
February 11, 2016
The snow day postponed French Club’s monthly meeting, which was held on Feb.10 after school.
Junior Allie Fanning said, “I am really bummed about the French Club being postponed because I really wanted to go but could not.”
The celebration of Mardi Gras has been celebrated in France, but there are many differences between how Americans and the French celebrate the holiday.
French Club takes the traditional route and celebrates by decorating masks and eating King’s Cake, a dry cake that has a prize inside.
This year, three students have volunteered to make the cake for the celebration. It is considered to be an easy pastry to make as long as directions are followed.
When the masks are finished, Madame Lesley Chapman judges the mask based on creativity and overall quality.
This is one of French Club’s last celebrations before the end of the year.
![THAT’S SO FETCH. “Mean Girls,” a popular film directed by Mark Waters features a new student, Cady Heron, who is bullied by the popular students. During the movie, she undergoes friendship and bullying problems. But, by the end of the movie, she solves her problems and makes peace with the bullies. “Almost everyone has watched [“Mean Girls”] once, if not a couple times. It is just a go-to when you’re with your girls,” said Debasmita Kanungo, 11.](https://shsleaf.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/weissblogmeangirlsphoto-300x424.jpg)
