Teacher Day Assembly

After experiencing download difficulties yesterday, we are posting pictures from the Teacher Day celebration held this past Monday. As usual, our assemblies are held outside as shown in the above picture. The day was "sponsored by the student queen and family of the school. Apparently a contest is held early in the school year and a school queen is selected. This year the queen was in 4th grade. This appears to be a fairly expensive thing for the winning family.

Some of our female teachers were called forward to participate in a game in which they collect clothing and other things you wear from students. They each selected a student in advance to "dress" with these things. The winner got a small prize. The winner had approximately 14 additional items on including several jackets.

A professional clown team was hired from another city. They were very good as they held the attention of the entire school for about 90 minutes with all kinds of silly games.


At the end of the assembly for students, teachers were gathered around a three person band for traditional music. The trio was really very good.

Finally, the teachers were each presented with a gift from the queen and her family. the bottom picture shows this presentation.

The entire assembly event was a full two hours. It was plain, simple fun and a nice way to honor teachers.
