For holiday traditions, I helped run the Italian table. At the table, we had many Italian treats including cookies and pastries, which were popular among the students! One student was dressed as "Dominic the Donkey" and another was dressed as "La Befana." These are two characters that are important to the Italian Christmas, as they are equivalent to our Santa Claus and there are several stories about these Italian figures. I think that having holiday traditions is a great way to end the school week before the holidays. Students are able to enlighten students and teach them about different cultures and how they celebrate their holidays. It is a fun event that I believe is highly appreciated by many students at BHS.
