I love all the activities, such as fundraising and graduated party. There are lots of other activities in special days. For example, twins day, Winnie the Pooh day, pajama day, best friends day, etc. In holiday, Valentine's Day, Christmas, Halloween, and New Year, school also held many fun programs.
