There's a nifty calendar of local Irish events here, too. And don't forget to spare a look for Irish Fest's official pages at irishfest.org with details on the festival and its fabulous musical archives. The site is somewhat dated, but the real gold to be plucked from this rainbow is the extensive set of links to information on everything from Irish history to how to buy property in Ireland. Visit these sites and you'll find things are not only great in Glocca Morra, they're green even if you live in Sheboygan. The motto that teacher Mary Kreul has given her class at Richards School in Whitefish Bay is almost enough to make us want to go back to second grade.
Life is uncertain.
Eat your dessert first. And a philosophy such as this is probably what led to such fun class projects as the recent one created by Kreul and her students. It was inspired by the travels of one Flat Stanley, the victim of a horrendous meeting with a bulletin board that left him squashed flat. But Stanley ain't the only skinny guy around. Our project had a little different twist.
