St. Patrick’s Day fun was abound on March 17 at C.A. Reinhard. Even though there were leprechaun shenanigans throughout the day, the Rising Stars used the holiday spirit to hone their science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics skills, as well as learn information about music and dance in Ireland.

Dressed in traditional green, students wrote about why they felt lucky. During a St. Patrick’s Day Gold Bridge activity, students were asked to design and build a sturdy bridge using only pennies. During music classes, they learned about the Irish jig, Irish folk music and popular step dancing.

The faculty and student body also enjoyed decorated doorways, leprechaun footprints, and messes created by naughty leprechauns.
