Fall Festival at VCS

This last Friday was a really fun annual event at VCS...Fall Festival. It's a night when families and teachers come together and we play all kinds of games and enjoy yummy treats from all over the world. I'm loving the international food aspect of living here. Not too long ago I went to an Indian cooking class put on by some Indian moms at our school. Ohhh, yummy. I'm inspired to branch out in my cooking skills.
Anyway, at Fall Festival all the choirs and bands perform, and some elementary kids too. There's a raffle for the Library to earn money to buy German and Reference books, and the prize is a fully equipped Thanksgiving basket. I can't even imagine the value it has, turkey included! We didn't win...bummer. There's also a Student Council Pie in the Face contest, where people put money in jars with teachers' names on them. The jar with the most money in it requires that the teachers whose names are on it get pied! Chris was pied last year, but this year he didn't win. The pies were still extremely funny, though!
That's about it from Fall Festival. I helped paint faces for kids, and Chris roamed around and did security since he's on the Administration Team this year with his new job. It was a really fun night! The photos above are from that night:).
