Less than 25% of school children show up to school on Ash Wednesday! (Source: Trinidad Guardian)

Yikes!

Too much fun happening for kids at the Trinidad Carnival, starting with Dimanche Gras (Fr: Fat Sunday) celebrations and the judging of Carnival Bands, continuing with J'ouvert (Fr: Contraction of jour ouvert or Day open), a 2:00 AM parade of steel bands through the streets accompanied by two days of dancing crowds and ending with Mardi Gras (Fr: Fat Tuesday).

I'd be tired too, if I was dancing from 2:00 AM on Monday to 10:00 PM on Tuesday!
