Before this whole coronavirus pandemic affected the whole world, I was fortunate to attend the International Day event at Bear Hugs Preschool here in Jeddah. Bear Hugs has been in operation in the Al Hamra District of Jeddah since 2003 and has a very diverse international staff as well as students.
The staff and students obviously put a lot of effort and thought into making this event the roaring success that it was. Each class had adopted a country to learn about, and the students dressed up in costumes representing each country.
In the school's lovely outdoor courtyard area, each class had prepared a space showing facts, traditions, and clothing from each country represented.
The adorable students were rightfully proud of what they had learned. Dozens of moms attended the standing room only event. The festivities were kicked off with a parade of the preschoolers (ages 2-6) wearing their costumes and waving flags as they made their way through the packed courtyard.
The parade was followed by a show with the students singing and performing for the beaming moms in the audience. I was very impressed with the upbeat and happy school, its administrators, teachers, and students. It was a lovely morning and I'm very happy to have been invited to see the school and attend this fun colorful celebration.
