Christmas Spirit

As I mentioned in my last post, the Christmas spirit is strong at Robert College.  Last week there was a holiday bazaar at Bizemtepe, the alumni club, and today there was one in Marble Hall, the large foyer of Gould Hall, the main school building.  Felt antlers were a popular item.  Here's a picture of some of my favorite 9th graders sporting them.

Last evening the temperature was back to springlike mildness, but today there were lots of snow flurries, which excited the kids (and some of the adults) and further contributed to the Christmas spirit. 

Next Wednesday our Christmas/ New Year's Party program looks like this:
