A note from your editor: Aimee Knaus
Yesterday was the school's annual Christmas Workshop, a time for students, teachers, and families to gather and work with their hands on ornaments, decorations, and cards all in anticipation of the Christmas Bazaar. The workshop officially began at 10:00 am although, there was much going on behind the scenes leading up to the excitement Students have been preparing for this day in art classes, coming up with the projects for this year, making models for this year, and preparing the materials to be used.
The elementary choir performed a variety of Christmas songs helping their audience really get into the spirit of Christmas. The audience, however were not idly sitting and watching, both children and adults were busy gluing eye-balls on angel ornaments (and some mustaches?), sipping tea and munching on Christmas tree cookies, singing along with the choir, some children were even dancing. The audience, reminded me of Santa's elves in their business, making and creating crafts to sell at the Christmas bazaar yet all with smiles on their faces. The Christmas Bazaar will be held next week at the school on Friday the 25th of November beginning at 10 am.
As a student at Ahliyyah, the Christmas workshop and bazaar has always been part of my mental calendar, it means the beginning of winter, the countdown to Christmas has now begun! Students were not exactly decorating all the halls with boughs of holly, but at least the main one, and we can still sing the song can’t we?
