  • Carnival Ball Letter
    CARNIVAL BALL KREWE BORD de L’EAU Dear Parents, The Krewe Bord de L’eau Carnival Balls are themed celebrations held each year involving students from 1st through 12th grade who participate on a royal court. The couples who raise the most money will be named king and queen. All money raised is contributed toward the betterment and advancement of our school. Students from 1st grade to 8th grade participate in the Junior Court, and students in high school participate in the Senior Court. Students from PK4 to 12th grade also have the opportunity to dress in costume and perform for the two courts and all the audience in attendance. The Carnival Balls focus on music, dance, and visual arts; all components of the Arts taught here at Riverside Academy. Krewe Bord de L’eau originated in 1980 from an idea Mrs. Althea Cambre had to raise money for a new elementary building which is still used by students today. The Carnival Ball committee was, and still is, composed of dedicated volunteer faculty members, parents, grandparents, and students who organize and create the grandeur event for everyone to enjoy. This school year the Junior and Senior Carnival Balls will be held Friday, January 26, 2018 and Saturday, January 27, 2018. The entertainment participation letters have gone out for students to sign up. Being a part of this entertainment affair is one many students enjoy. We hope that you consider letting your student experience what this magnificent event is all about. We have openings for court members to participate in both the Junior and Senior courts.

Ms. Kathryn Mayer of the Alexandra Ballet danced exquisitely Chopin’s Prelude from Les Sylphides. Ms. Brittany Moleski sang wonderfully several Polish songs by Chopin, Moniuszko, and Rutkowski.

The proms of today are lavish affairs that come complete with hotel ballrooms, live bands, glamorous clothing, and stretch limousines. As the first formal event in the life of a teenager, attendance at the prom is now popularly considered a vital rite of passage to adulthood. Yet, proms were not always so lavish, expensive, or widespread. At one point during their history, proms were actually quite simple affairs. Proms were first mentioned in the high school yearbooks of the 1930s and 1940s, but historians believe they may have existed as early as the late 1800s. Proms first began in the elite colleges of the Northeast, taking their cue from the debutante balls of the rich and well bred. Middle class parents admired the poise and composure of debutantes and their escorts and began to institute formal dances as a means of instilling social skills and etiquette in their children.
