So today is Teacher Appreciation Day! Today is celebrated like a national holiday. Many private schools and government schools canceled classes today to celebrate the teachers. The tradition is that the teacher would dress in their uniforms and meet at the school early in the morning. Then they would all march together as a school to Town Center. They would represent their school in the middle of town and then all the teachers would go celebrate together! The difference is that our school is not high on the money chain and therefore we had no transportation or uniforms and therefore we were not able to march this morning but we did celebrate together! The head master bought us all matching Chitangay’s and the some of the children brought us gifts. Today I received cookies, juice, popcorn, suckers, and money! The students gave us money!!!! It was crazy. They sang us songs of appreciation and I almost cried. I was so touched that they would think to celebrate us and actually give us gifts. After an hour of school, the children were released to go home and us as teachers met together for a short time. After celebrating together we all dispersed and Sara and I were given a half day! WHOO HOOO! Yah! Celebrate those teachers! ;o)
Happy Teacher's Appreciation Day!
