What is pancake day? - CBBC Newsround

Newsround visited one school that takes pancakes pretty seriously... They even have a pancake flipping competition! So what are pancakes and what's so good about them? Watch the video to find out and see the pancake-flipping winner. http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/39115473

The skillets have cooled, the pancakes eaten and our winner Maggie Lapinski has had a chance to breathe. I got the chance to ask Maggie a few questions about her very eventful and exciting first Pancake Day! Maggie is a 4th grade teacher at Cottonwood Intermediate School. And her students couldn’t be more proud of their teacher, “My students were very excited that I won. I know a lot of them were at the race because I could hear them cheering on that final stretch. A number of them ran over to me yesterday and yelling to me during the parade. I have gotten lots of high fives and hugs from them today. Them being so excited and proud of me really adds to the day”, Lapinski said. Maggie said she had heard about Pancake Day when she first moved here, and wasn’t sure she was going to run the race until some of her co-workers started to encourage her. Excited was the theme of the day, not just from Lapinski’s students, but also from her. Lapinski had this to say about how it feels to be the International Race winner, “I am really excited to win. I had no idea what to expect having not run a race competitively in about 3 years. Even though the race is for fun I don't like to lose so I am pretty happy with the result. Not being from Liberal I had no idea what a big deal this race is. But I am so happy I was able to be a part of the tradition.” And she thinks she would like to run again next year, but get a little bit faster. Lapinski had a very busy first Pancake Day, aside from winning the International Race, she also ran the Pancake Chase 5k Fun Run, attended the kid races, was in the parade and also attended the flipping contest at Cottonwood Intermediate School. When asked what her favorite part of the day was this was her answer, “I think my favorite part of the day was being a part of the whole tradition. I don't think I can pick a specific part. Getting to meet all the people who have been a part of the tradition in Liberal. After the Shriving Service I was able to meet Billie Warden, the winner of the first International Race. I loved meeting all the other women who were competing and just be part of the whole thing.” Lapinski would like to thank everyone that was cheering for her from here and back home.
