Middle School Charity Fair

On October 15th, Shanghai High School International Division had another one of its famous charity fairs. This is a day when the seventh and eighth grade students, the teachers, and the parents worked together to sell and buy items to raise money for charity. The charity fair was held in the cafeteria’s first, second, and third floors. The grass outside and the wide path leading there were also a part of the event.

In the food section, there were cakes, cookies, ice cream, donuts, chips, and even special types of food from other countries! There were also many beverages, including smoothies, milk tea, chocolate milk, and bottles of sprite and coke. A student even sold creatively made candy from Candy Lab to sell at the charity fair. Some sweets had a panda or SHSID printed on it. Another student sold delicious Korean fried rice cakes. Most of the seventh and eighth grade sellers worked in teams to make more money.

In the jewelry section, there were beautiful bracelets, necklaces, and earrings. Students also sold posters, tattoos, key chains, stationery, stuffed animals, and more.

There were also exciting activities prepared by the seventh and eighth grade ASB members. Those activities included throwing water balloons and many fun competitions. The eighth graders filled more than two big buckets with small, multi-coloured water balloons and invited several teachers to participate. Near the end of the charity fair, Principal Ni himself arrived and allowed the students to throw water balloons at him. Those who did not attend that event watched with great interest on the sidelines or up on the second and third floors of the cafeteria. Aside from those games, there was also a spicy noodle challenge and a hoop toss. Prizes were given to the winners, and everyone had a great time playing with friends, buying new things, and participating in the events.

The school raised a total of more than 60,000 RMB throughout this Charity Fair. Students had a lot of fun and raised a big donation at the same time. This event has brought the students happiness, but it has also taught them responsibility and most of all, the importance of helping those in need.
