Quisqueya News: Monday, March 22
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Quisqueya students began St. Patrick’s Day by learning from Mrs. Ackerman in chapel about the biography of Patrick, patron saint of Ireland.
Many students participated in the tradition of wearing green to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, including this very creative high school student.
Several classrooms incorporated St. Patrick’s Day snacks and themes into their daily work. In English, middle and high school students read limericks and poems by Seamus Heaney, Ireland’s greatest living poet.
Students ate green snacks (even decidedly non-Irish items like green guacamole and pizza!) and learned traditional St. Patrick’s Day greetings. They practiced their jigs while listening to Irish folks songs and heard from other Irish artists. Erin Go Braugh!
