Day of the Student

Today, September 21 is The Day of the Student - or - Student's Day as we would say in English.  It is a holiday here in Argentina & is done in conjunction with Spring Day - 1st day of Spring.  This of course is the opposite of all of our friends in the Northern Hemisphere who are celebrating the beginning of Fall.  Since we are on the bottom side of the planet, we are moving out of winter and into spring, while those of you in the north are leaving summer behind and moving into fall.  What an interesting world we live in. 

Anyways, as I said, it is a holiday here in Argentina.  There is no school but most of the parents still have to work.  Not sure how families sort that out.  : )  This is also sort of a festive week.  Aliana's class had a party yesterday and she came home with a bag of candy and a a balloon.  She was pretty psyched! 
Nate's class will have a party on Friday. 

(The caption of the picture is a saying from Aristotle: 

The true disciple is the one that surpasses the teacher.) 

The International Student's Day is November 17th, but every county chooses their own date.  I think Argentina already celebrated a Spring Day holiday and decided to combine the two. 

Again, did we have this in the United States?  I don't remember celebrating anything like this.  Think of all the cool holidays we missed out on!  Lol. 

Have a great day & God bless -
