The fifth and sixth grade students at Sacred Heart were treated to a Mardi Gras celebration on the high school football field, on Thursday, February 27. Wanda Verrette, Mamou Mardi Gras Co-Captain Kade Verrette, and Mark Young spoke about the history and traditions of the Mamou Mardi Gras. Young also sang an a cappella version “La Danse de Mardi Gras.” During the celebration, members of the sixth grade class had an opportunity to chase a chicken.
