Both campuses celebrates Diwali with vibrant festivals
Exciting presentations and pagentry came together on both campuses for festive celebrations of Diwali – the "Festival of Lights" that originated in India. At the upper school on October 22, Members of the Asian Students Association organized an event that incorporated history and education, traditional music and dance, cultural activities including henna and custom block printing, and sweet and savory treats during the mid-day break. The middle school community celebrated Diwali on November 6, enjoying traditional dances featuring students and faculty, the lighting of lamps known as diwas, and a fashion show. They also sampled Indian delicacies and enjoyed Indian-themed activities.
Upper school presenters Maya Bhandari '28, Shaan Tak '29, Alexander de Souza '29, Rahul Kumar '29, Misha Gowda '28 and Felix Kulkarni '27 kicked off that campus's events with an informative presentation as parent volunteers assembled on the Miller Family Quad with food and activities. Middle school emcees Neel Gowda '31 and Eshan Shastri '31 led the middle school assembly in the gymnasium three weeks later, and they were joined by Maya Ghosh '31, who shared a presentation on the colorful art known as rangoli.
