This year at MIS Aoyama Primary, we will have a Winter Program full of events, crafts, and trips for everyone to enjoy! In MIS, we want to you to get the best out of our winter holidays, so we have planned a special program for kids of all ages! Everyone is more than welcome to join us.

Despite the cold weather, we want to include physical activities, which are always very important. For this reason, we will be able to go ice skating to the nearby skating rink. Also, we will be doing a Secret Santa gift exchange, which is a very common activity for Christmas in other countries. We want everyone to share the magic of Christmas by exchanging presents during our MIS Christmas party, as well. On top of that, we will be writing our letters to Santa and sent them over by mail to get his reply!

And to finalize, we will be learning about how people celebrate Christmas all over the world. We will be having a Christmas costume competition and photo shoot! You will get to choose your favorite Christmas character and dress up along with the teachers!
