An EPIM Thanksgiving: Our two schools meet for an International student sporting event
Our American community has the joy of sharing Thanksgiving at EPIM. It's a time to give thanks for all that we have and realize how lucky we are. The students at EPIM are organizing a shared sporting event between the two schools!
[05/11/2010]

This year, students will be celebrating Thanksgivng on the actual day, the 4th Thursday of November! Thanksgiving is an important day commemorating the very first meal shared by the Pilgrims and Native Americans after their first successful harvest. It's typcially known for the exquisite feast, but it's also a day about being surrounded by family and friends and reflecting upon what we are thankful for.
Students from both schools will be participating in our fall school sporting event! The Cycle 3 children in Aix have invited the Cycle 3 children from Marseille to share the day with them as a part of Thanksgiving. They will play football matches together in the Olympic spirit and will share a snack made by the Aix children for their guests.
This day, November 25th, will be the first of 3 sports meetings for both EPIM schools. As part of a Sports Project, the sporting events will link the children from both schools and give them the opportunity to work, play and share together.
