From Russia With Love

For the school's 17th birthday we had some assemblies and relay/gymnastic competitions! It was so crazy but it was fun. So here are some pictures!
We went to an assembly and they had all these performances like dancing, singing, acting...and let me tell you, they go all out with their costumes.

The giraffe is their mascot and I think it's name is Don, but I'm not sure about that.


Of course we needed a ballet performance.

Two high schoolers singing a Beatles song. One Russian told me "Everyone in the world loves the Beatles."

This is what the high school girls wear to school everyday. Doesn't it make you think of Gossip Girl? xoxo

The giraffe blew out candles with kids from each grade on their version of a birthday cake. It's more like a pie, but it's not really a pie either...

Some of my 2nd graders. The one to the far left is Milla and she is the sweetest one in my class. And Martin is the one looking at the camera and he's so funny and one of my favorites :)

Two of my 2nd graders, Igor and Tema, having their oxygen cocktail.

This little girl's sister was the giraffe and she got so excited when she saw her! She was waving and screaming...it was so funny!

The relays for the competition...my class didn't win a single event but they were still really excited. This is Gena and he's my favorite boy :)

Katya and Angelina are in my class and they were judges during the gymnastics and relay competitions. Katya is another one of my favorites :)

Some kind of play about Russia, I had NO idea what was going on during this one.

Little first graders in the play (I told you they go all out for their costumes!)
