The “Winter Wonderland” Christmas Market on Friday marked the beginning of the season to be jolly at the English College. The event was the first of its kind: this year it took place outdoors in the playground! The freezing winter air, the dim fairy lights and bright red Santa hats created a festive aura. Therefore, almost the whole school was attracted to participate. Tutor classes each had their own stand, selling everything from home-made gingerbread to nachos with cheese or a quiz about teachers of the school. Congratulations to Y5 Ignis, who raised the most money for charity. Overall, the Christmas Market raised over 8,000czk for Centrum LOCIKA, a charity helping children affected by domestic violence, and almost 2,000czk for the Kačenka dětem organisation. Thank you to everybody involved!
