== Our mascot would be an Irish Leprechaun. That would be dressed in green because we are the Incarnation Irish and green signifies the Irish. But there are many stereotypes that we must try to avoid. We could not be the "fighting Irish" because that nickname goes back to Irish people getting drunk at bars and fighting. Our school does not want to be represented with that negative denotation. I think we should have a leprechaun to represent the Luck of the Irish and bring good luck to all of our sports team. ==
