Diwali @ the International School

At the International School the headmaster got up and addressed us at the most recent school event, the Diwali Festival. He said, "Schools usually try to find the things all the kids have in common and celebrate that, but here at the International School we celebrate differences." So, hence the Diwali Festival this week the Halloween festival 2 weeks ago and so on... It really was a great experience and the effort by the teachers to get authentic costumes and choreograph the dances was impressive (luckily we have several teachers from India). The lower school kids participated by making lots and lots of candles. We had an Indian catered dinner to follow the festival. I have included a Smilebox that shows highlights of the festival and Mikaela dancing.
