Today is Schmotzger Dunschtig! It is the Thursday before Ash Wednesday - and the festivities leading up to Lent have reached their peak!
This morning, the children went to school in costume at the regular time. Then a costumed marching band came and "freed" all the children from school. A parade formed behind them as they went from school to school in the neighborhood, freeing the children. In the back of the parade wass the Narrenbaum, the tree with ribbons on it. Once the parade made it back to William's Kindergarten, the tall, thin Narrenbaum was erected in the playground.
