Our leprechaun trap tradition was started many years ago by Dottie Mueller. Ever since the children spend two weeks creating inventive traps (the leprechauns say ingenious!) in the hope that those pesky leprechauns will come visit our school. So far we haven't succeeded, but the leprechauns come, create mayhem, get stuck and unstuck in their traps, sprinkle clover and gold all over the place, and always leave each child a gift. Some years they receive gold coins, other years chocolate but this year they left magical pencils. They also left a pot of gold which was hidden in the grounds and it took 28 children fifteen minutes to find it. Our celebration wouldn't be complete without green bagels and cream cheese. Begorrah!
