he Krewe of Kiddies from St. Mary’s Nativity School in Raceland will roll their 23 decorated wagon-floats through the school grounds on Friday, Feb. 28, at Noon. The theme of this year’s parade is “Louisiana Festivals.” The tradition dates back to 1973 as an art project for the sixth grade students with the idea of further development of community among parents and parishioners. This type of creativity allows the students to
show their talents and express themselves without words. Selection of king and queen and their court is done at random with each grade being represented. Beads are collected from the student body a few weeks before the parade. Patients from the area nursing home are invited as special guests and provide their own king and queen. The police department is on hand for safety, and a grand marshal, chosen from the community, leads the
parade. The floats are designed by fifth graders and are pulled by students from the sixth grade. The bazaar begins at 11 a.m. followed by the parade at Noon. The major characters represented are senior king and queen, grand marshal, junior king and queen, dukes and maids, priest, sister, police officer and firefighter. This year the king and queen are kindergartners Skye Falgout and Claire Blanchard. The public is invited to attend.
