December is a special time around the world, marked by the celebration of various traditions and festivities. At New School Lyon, our approach to this magical time is unique: we see it as an opportunity to celebrate not only the festive season, but also the richness of bilingualism and community within our school.
Bilingual festivities
During December, our students take part in special bilingual festivities that celebrate Christmas and New Year traditions in both languages. This includes Christmas songs, storytelling, art activities and, of course, the preparation of Christmas treats. These bilingual activities reinforce their command of both languages while immersing them in the festive atmosphere.
The values of sharing and solidarity
December is also a good time to teach our students the values of sharing and solidarity. We encourage students to take part in charitable activities, such as collections for associations. This reinforces their sense of responsibility towards the community and makes them aware of the importance of empathy and mutual aid.
In December, New School Lyon is transformed into a place of celebration, cultural discovery and bilingual learning. It's a magical time when the joy of festivities mingles with the celebration of our diversity and community. At the heart of this festive season, New School Lyon continues to highlight the values of education and solidarity that make our school so special.
Small Christmas Market
New School Lyon hosted its Petit Marché de Noël in a festive atmosphere on 12 December. Parents, teachers and students came together to celebrate this joyous tradition, while contributing to a worthy cause.
The school market also brought the community together around colourful stalls offering a variety of Christmas products. Home-made decorations, pastries and children's creations were among the treasures on sale.
What made this event particularly special was its charitable purpose. The school donated all the funds raised to the Sourire d'Enfant association, which is dedicated to the well-being of sick children. This noble cause greatly motivated the participation and generosity of those present.
This success reflects New School Lyon's commitment to sharing and solidarity. The smiles exchanged, the laughter heard and the friendly atmosphere proved that the Christmas spirit was alive and well.
So the organising team expressed their gratitude to all those who helped make the market a success. " Our school is touched by everyone's involvement and is happy to support worthy causes.said a member of the team.
As the end-of-year festivities continue, the event will leave a lasting memory in the hearts of the New School Lyon community, reminding us that the festive season is also a time for giving and supporting those who need it most.
