Christmas
Festivals in the School
Festivus is a long-running
Christmas time holiday in St. Ignatius High School where the kids join together
in winter spirit. Together the students and teachers run workshops of many
activities, some Christmas-related and others for just fun.
This
event will run on the last day of school before Christmas break, which lands on
the 20th. Most likely that day will be a half schedule, meaning that
school is out at lunch time, or 12:30 if you have to ride the bus home. If you
don’t have a way to get home, make sure your parents are aware of your early
dismissal.
There
will be around ten different workshops/stations throughout various classrooms,
with kids rotating through them every 45 minutes or so. Some examples of the
stations would be a board game center, an ornament making class, or basketball
in the gym. Each station will have that classroom’s home teacher for
supervision, and Student Council will be regulating the events and making sure
everything goes smoothly. Student Council also will be the ones supplying the
materials for the event, which probably won’t be a problem. Hopefully, we can
even bring back the ping pong and foosball tables from the lock in!
If
you plan to skip that day, it probably won’t hurt because the last few years
there have not been a penalty assignment for missing Festivus. You should plan
on going though, for it’s an easy day, and the only thing you’re required to do
is have fun!
