Last day of classes

Today was our last day of classes before Christmas Break. We will be heading home for three weeks on Sunday.

Christmas Program

The International School elementary school has been taken over by Christmas program preparations! We have been practicing the songs in our classrooms for weeks and we have spend half of 5 days practicing at the church where the performance will be. Although it is a lot of work, it is an important part of the school year because it allows the students and their parents to hear the Christmas story.

It is strange to be here during Christmas season because it is so warm. It just seems sort of wrong to see Christmas lights on houses without snow, but we will soon be able to experience the Michigan winter! Just 10 more days!
