heres a joke letter to get someone out of school for st pattie's day...

Mr. Pooter Bullard
Principal
Blue River Central High School
1234 Central Street
Carriere, MS 39426

Dear Principal Bullard;

This letter is to inform you that Bridget will be absent from school on Monday, March 17, to take part in local observances of a major religious holiday.

Bridget will be participating in a variety of enrichment and religious activities commemorating the perseverance and courage of Saint Patrick, the beloved patron Saint of our Irish cultural and religious identity. These activities include parades, sharing of ethnic foods and beverages, and a variety of communal gatherings punctuated by celebratory music, dance and song.

Now Pooter, I feel that a student as bright as Bridget should not suffer adverse or prejudicial consequences from an excused absence for a religious observance and be allowed a reasonable opportunity to make up the schoolwork missed due to the absence. The courts seem to agree with me: (Church of God v. Amarillo Independent School Dist., 511 F. Supp. 613 (N. D. Tex. 1981), aff'd, 670 F. 2d 46 (5th Cir. 1982).

Our aim is that this absence does not affect Bridget’s academic performance nor create a prolonged and costly court battle like the one that occurred in Amarillo, so please let me know if she will need to complete any assignments before March 17, by emailing me at zebadiah_beauregard@yahoo.com.

Sincerely,

Zebadiah Beauregard

To celebrate I am wearing a green shirt tomorrow. xD

 

[dancergirlsasha]

I'm dressing up. We already had our corn beef and cabbage, though so no special dinner.

 

[Babyjustrun]

I'm not Irish...
Nor am I religious..
So I'm not participating.
Might wear a little green to keep myself safe.
I wouldn't wear a lot because people would take it as school spirit instead of Irish spirit.

I hope my mom will let me make German potato salad,

EVEN THOUGH its GERMAN and NOT Irish,
Its potatoes with Vinegar,


POTATOES!?
POTATOES!?

Im sorry but not only am I extremely Irish (and German) BUT

I have an addiction to Potatoes,
When I grow up Im going to be a chef, and Potatoes are going to be my specialty.


I keep wanting to be an Irish dancer, but its not something they offer anywhere near me.
It bums me out, because I absolutely LOVE Ireland.

Ive been there before, Not only is the scenery the most breath taking thing I have ever seen BUT


It rains A LOT there, HELLO!? That is HEAVEN for me.

ms.squeakers: are you sure they dont offer irish dancing around you? they offer it all over the world. all you have to do is know where to look

i know of three schools in my area, and when i go to competition, there are people there from all over the place

 

[Vannah]

I'm wearing green.

 

[Ms.Squeakers]

I have never heard of Corned Beef,
What does it taste like?
I have had Beef Stew and... Beef Burgundy, but whats Corned Beef?

Last year (and the year before) I was VERY interested in finding an Irish dance place, but failed terribly on it.

I need to talk to my Mom about it again though.

corned beef is beef cured or pickled in brine. it is actually really good, though, as i mustve said a million times on here, its not irish. i cant really describe what it tastes like, you would have to try it.

 

[disney100666]

Irish Step Dance is ALOT of fun! You should find a Dance School near you. I'm sure there has to be one.

I don't think I'll do anything special I'm gonna avoid the whole wearing green thing and I really hope that no one I know brings up the fact that I Irish Step Dance. I'm like 75% Irish. xD

Where's Andy, he's Irish XD

It's not Irish...?

i know tons of people who have either been to ireland or theyre irish, and theres no actual corned beef in ireland. if you dont believe me, wikipedia has sections about how its prepared in america, canada, germany, and england, but nothing about ireland whatsoever. there are plenty of other ways to find out, as well, but i doubt very many of you will be spending their day looking up facts about corned beef

I believe you, I'm just surprised. I have relatives that are from Ireland that make a point of having it every St. Patrick's Day.

 

[marypops!]

Nothing really.

Did you know that officially, yesterday was St. Patrick's Day because it concided with Holy Week. The next time they move the date won't be until 2160.
