Saint Maur's Festive Christmas Bazaar 2023
The magic of the festive season at Saint Maur International School started when our community came together on Sunday, November 11th, for an unforgettable Christmas Bazaar. The support and generosity of our incredible parents, teachers, students, alumni and friends transformed the day into a winter wonderland.
The fragrance of culinary delights filled the air, offering a wide array of hot food and drinks, perfect for the cold November day. Families gathered for a heartwarming storytime with Santa while our bustling Thrift Shop, vibrant Arts & Crafts Games for kids, and local businesses showcasing their products added to the festivities. Despite the morning drizzle, our spirits were lifted by the sensational performances throughout the day. The High School Jazz Band set the tone, paving the way for a cascade of talent, including enchanting Christmas carols by Mama Melodia, a captivating performance by an Elementary School string ensemble, the rhythmic beats of the Middle School Jazz Band.
Braving the cold, the warmth of everyone's smiles and hard work created an inviting atmosphere that resonated throughout the event. The grand finale featured a raffle with over 20 enticing prizes, including hotel vouchers for the luxurious Sheraton Hotel in Yokohama, a dazzling diamond bracelet generously sponsored by Star Jewelry, and more. A heartfelt thanks to each member of our community for making this annual event a resounding success. This year marked a special milestone as we opened our doors to the public in full capacity for the first time since 2019. Your participation and enthusiasm turned this Christmas Bazaar into a joyous celebration, and we look forward to many more memorable moments together!
