New Year celebration
The Russian Weekend School “MIR” hosted its traditional New Year’s celebration on January 10th at Laugarnes Church. The event was open to all. Our teachers and parents created a wonderful, warm, and festive atmosphere and thanks to their contributions a delicious buffet was served. Main characters from popular Russian tales were reenacted and numerous guests were present, and all of the children had the opportunity to perform for and delight our “Santa Claus” in exchange for a wonderful gift and New Year’s sweets. Sure enough, there was a New Year’s tree, and everyone danced and sang around the Christmas tree. The evening concluded with tea, excellent food, and a get-together with friends. The group received numerous thank you notes from parents, but the most important thing was to see the children’s excitement, happiness, and smiling faces.
