"I love this festival. To me it is expressing the joy and creativity of our school and celebrating the end of another year together, a promising beginning of summer, and the aliveness of spring. This will be my son's last year and he is SO proud to be doing the sword dance, that he has watched every year, AND to be a group leader in the dance where he will guide the group and hold the star. I get weepy when I hear how proud he is about this. Also this year my kindergartener will be giving my 5th grade a goodbye rose, sending him on to new horizons. These festivals have all been moving place and time markers for me, reminding me to stop and savor these precious times. The may festival is yet another expression of what makes our school special and memorable for parents and kids." - BCSIS 5th Grade Parent
"Seeing the 5th grade boys wearing the beautiful flower crowns they made themselves and doing the sword-dance touches me deeply - I see them as being so strong in themselves and therefore they don't have the need to hide their tender, sweet side."-- BCSIS 5th Grade Parent
