St. Margaret's Day

Today at school we celebrated St. Margaret's Day, and boy was it a hectic one.

St. Margaret of Hungary is the patron saint of the Lower Junior School - which means from Grade 0 (yes there is such a thing in South Africa, and we call it Grade Nought) to Grade 3, which is known as Form I.  It's a school tradition, as is the celebration of St. Margaret's Day, in which the whole junior school participates.
