Celebration of Light

Maren's teacher, Ms Marie, planned a lovely celebration for the kids on the last day of school before vacation. At the end of the day, the kids lit candles and did a lantern walk. Each kid made their own lantern.

They talked about light and the hope for the new year and how there is light in each and every one of us.


Outisde the room were gifts Maren made for our family.

The kids finished the celebration with a meal together. Each family contributed an igredient for a soup, which the kids made earlier in the day. The kids acted out a play in which a group of animals came together in friendship on Christmas Eve to make a meal together. Maren got to play the Momma Mouse that made the soup. It was a lovely experience for Maren and for us too.
