Fun Fair

This past Saturday was KIA’s yearly Fun Fair. It is a one day carnival organized by the school and open to the greater Kunming community. Each high school class sets up booths for playing games and serving food and all proceeds go into their class funds to help pay for senior trip (NOTE: in our international setting senior trip takes on greater meaning. Our students come from all around the globe and after graduation they scatter again. Many students will never see each other again after they graduate so having a final trip together is all the more meaningful.) Eric is one of two freshman homeroom teachers and I am one of three sophomore homeroom teachers so we both had our hands full on Saturday. I spent most of the day rounding up 10th graders to staff booths, directing kids to fill up water balloons for our water war booth, and taking turns in the Dunk-a-Teacher booth. We weren’t being dunked, but we sat on a stool under a water balloon while people paid to throw bean bags at a target. Hit the target and the water balloon is popped and the teacher is soaked. Thankfully it was a warm day!
Before the chaos. Check out those KIA Flying Tigers t-shirts.


Getting soaked.

I love the look on Eric's face!
