HATTIESBURG, Miss. (WDAM) - Fat Tuesday is the biggest day in the Carnival Holiday, and Sacred Heart elementary students helped create a mini Mardi Gras parade display in lieu of in-person parades.
Students decorated shoeboxes to look like parade floats. Abigail Allen with the Hattiesburg Community Arts Center said she was excited to display the mini-floats downtown in the windows of the Saenger Theatre.
“Happy Fat Tuesday! I mean we are so happy that they decided to do this because it brings a little Mardi Gras spirit even at a time where spirit seems to be a little bit low,” Allen said. “So we have to keep Mardi Gras in our hearts so come on down and check it out.”

Serge Cefai clams that axing exams will further discredit school qualifications, undermine teaching standards and damage the credibility of the education system. He also slammed some teachers and union leaders for spending a great deal of time and effort looking for medical reasons to keep schools closed. Mr Cefai, head teacher of Sacred Heart Catholic School in Camberwell, south east London, said he feels completely let down by educational leaders after what he described as the most demanding and stressful year in education for decades.
