Essay by Kaitlyn Erin Kearns, First Grader at Warner Elementary in Cy-Fair ISD, Texas
On a special, fabulous yummy day.
 
On this special day I get to be in the St. Patrick's parade.
 
My grandma and my sister and my cousins, Gabriel, Anthony, Ryan & my number one favorite cousin - Catrina.
 
We were on a float and we waved to the crowd! We smiled really big.  We see some of our friends.  I said, "Catrina do you love being in the parade?"  She said "Yes I do".  Then after the parade we got in another float and we got some ice cream.  Then we going to the crawfish boil.  We excited in the parade.
 
The end.
