G1-8 Celebration

G1-4

On December 21st, the primary section had a series of activities to celebrate SHSID’s 25th Anniversary. On the giant board in the lobby, we could see a lot of sticky notes with best wishes written by students from Grade 1 to Grade 4. They showed their love for SHSID and happiness for learning in this beautiful campus. In the auditorium, we had a grand celebration assembly in honor of the 25th Anniversary. Principal Bao awarded prizes to the winners of the I love SHSID 25th Anniversary Drawing Competition and Writing Competition. Afterwards, we watched a special celebration video made by teachers, parents, and students of the primary section, in which they expressed their sincere congratulations and wishes to SHSID. The culminating celebration was a Cake Ceremony. With the lights out in the auditorium, the candles were lit up, all the teachers and students sung the Happy Birthday song together. Two students, two teachers, one parent, and Principal Bao were invited to the stage to blow out the candles and make their wishes. After the celebration, kids shared the birthday cake in the classroom, as well as the joyfulness of 25th Anniversary!

G5-6

Shanghai High School International Division celebrated its 25th anniversary on Dec. 21st with a fabulous program of events. All of the fifth and sixth graders as well as teacher and some parents were in attendance.

Students watched the live show, which was held in big auditorium, via live stream in their homeroom classrooms. Although they were not able to see the program delivered in person, they were still moved by the enthusiasm and entertainment found in the performances.

Being an audience member was not simply enough for this wonderful moment. The students of fifth and sixth grades also prepared birthday gifts for the school. A gift-exchange ceremony located in the indoor gym was open to all the teachers and students. Videos created by students a couple months ago were played inside, videos which vividly described SHSID school life. These videos sparked a feeling of reminiscence in the students’ hearts as they reflected on their happy times here at SHSID. After that, a couple performances from students as well as distinguished guests began. One fifth grade student played the violin, while sixth grade students played the saxophone and ukulele, greatly impressing the audience with their skills. These students performed a sort of modern interpretation of old Chinese songs, seeking to demonstrate a vital idea of SHSID, that of respecting various cultures and time periods while seeking to leave one’s unique stamp in all things one does.

The highlight of the birthday celebration was no doubt the birthday cake and song. Principal, teachers, and students placed candles on the delicious birthday cake together. In commemoration of this momentous occasion, everyone sang the birthday song to the accompaniment of various instruments. Meanwhile, the mascot of our school, Mr. Panda, also joined in, sharing in the joy and excitement of all the fifth and sixth graders.

The anniversary drew to a close with the launching of paper fireworks, accompanied by applause and laughter from those watching. This event not only celebrated SHSID’s 25th anniversary, a notable feat, but also served as a unique opportunity for staff campus-wide to unite and wish SHSID continued success for the years to come.
