Mardi Gras 2007 was a special event for Beauvoir students. We welcomed a celebrity Grand Marshall, Disney Channel star Allie Grant.

Fourth graders are ready to "2nd line" around the parade route.

Another special guest was Rick Ranew and Jen Buchanan from the Grand Bay National Research Reserve.

They have helped teachers and students at Beauvoir all year in our school-wide Wetlands study.

Jen had a kayak full of fortune cookies with environmental messages in them.
