GSN's Halloween Celebration
The month of October is known to bring spooks and scares throughout the days, but nothing is as eerie as the last day of the month. October 31st creeps in with Halloween celebrations, costumes, candies and much fun! Originally, it is a holiday which marks the change of season, according to the ancient Celtic calendar, and its celebration dates back to over 2000 years ago. Halloween is also known as 'All Hallows Eve'. This popular festival has evolved through many cultures, some still honoring the decesaed while others just enjoy dressing up in costumes and scavenging for candy. At Georgia School Ningbo (GSN), it also kicked off the start of our 2019 Fall Spirit Week, an opportunity for students and teachers to explore their creativity together.
Halloween Day at Georgia was packed with princesses, monsters, witches, wizards, pirates and – believe it or not – many dinosaurs! Apart from classroom activities, the day carried on with a festive Trick-or-Treating and was followed by a Halloween show , composed of students and teachers. Songs, dances and games were held on stage for all ages to enjoy! Celebrating different events and festivals in school is an integral part for children to build a strong cultural belief. Being a diverse community, GSN aims to encourage students to embrace other cultures and traditions as they do with their own. Through this, children are capable of Recognizing different values and expanding their horizons for the future.
