Despite the cold weather, acts of kindness, hot chocolate, students’ performances, New Year’s fireworks, happiness in the eyes of the disabled members of the Paraorchestra, and the involvement of the European School Alumni association along with the rest of the community who brought enthusiasm and love made the day even more special.

Before the holidays started, PYP kids, parents and teachers donated to the charity action organized by the PYP. We prepared packs of presents with candies, stationery and clothes.
