'Tis the season to be jolly!

This past month has been quite jolly and quite busy! In November, the children celebrated the American holiday of Thanksgiving, then came the celebration of St. Nicolas, and finally the children put on a fabulous Christmas show of the parents.

[16/12/2011]

EPIM enjoys keeping in the tradition of the children's cultures.

For Thanksgiving, in Aix-en-Provence, the children planted bulbs in our new garden plots to kick off that exciting project. In the afternoon, at a school wide assembly, our American students retold the story of the first Thanksgiving, with costumes and a special afternoon snack prepared by some of the children. In Marseille, every child brought in a fruit or vegetable to prepare a fruit salad and veggie soup for all to share.

In early December, the Dutch children in Aix-en-Provence acted out the story of St. Nicolas for each class and distributed chocolates and mandarins on their very important holiday. The students of Marseille also shared in this tradition.

Finally all of the EPIM children ages 2-11 from our Aix and Marseille schools participated in our famous International Bilingual (at times trilingual) Christmas show which had 2 performances due to our growing number of children and families in both schools! The children sang songs in French and English during th course of their school wide theater performance. The school choir along with the music teacher showed off their hard work this past trimester with a beautiful song. EPIM in Aix-en-Provence even had it's first ever raffle organized by our very special Parent Teacher Association to raise money for our school library!

This was a very great year for us at EPIM !
