Indeed,
aside from learning the traditional stories and songs of Christmas, the
teachers and students took it upon themselves to bring to life Santa Claus' extraordinary
travels around the world, not only distributing presents but experiencing each
country's culture. He visited the Queen in London,
ate some pizza in Italy,
played soccer in Brazil,
tried his hand at hockey in Canada,
tried out Rugby in South Africa,
danced the Can-Can in Paris, drank some Pastis
in Marseille and picked some tulips in Holland
each with the children speaking in their own native languages. Along with their music
teacher, who specializes in teaching mandarin, the students sang Merry
Christmas in Chinese! We all had a great time together, the staff, the students
and the families.At the end
of the performances, everyone gathered around an epic international buffet prepared by the
children where each student brought a specialty from their own country!
