Fasching
Oh, no! The fools are loose for that crazy, wacky time of the year, those days of fun and folly, of masks, parties, and parades of the Fasching season!
This Tuesday, March 8th, all Meridian Campus students are invited to dress up in their (non-scary!) costumes and to join in a children’s celebration of German FASCHING! We dress up in our costumes at 2:30 and start with dancing to German tunes in the gym at 2:45! Next, children will dine on German Strueselkuchen, and finish with a musical parade to collect bonbons and show off their outfits!
What is Fasching? Fasching, Fastnacht, Karneval, Carnevale or Masopust –the names differ in the various regions of Germany, but they all mean the same thing: the “foolish” late-winter days, dedicated to merry-making and fun during the fourth season. Fasching is all about having a good sense of humor, yet having respect and staying within limits. Many Fasching clubs throughout Germany will host costume balls and dances in addition to prank sessions (called Kappensitzungen). This is a time for carnivals, laughter, fun, dancing parties and parades!
Machen wir SPASS!! Bis dann!
