Skibhus Festival

The local school and the local activities clubs. have, for about a decade now put on a festival in our neighborhood. It is your basic school festival, with a few Danish twists.



The first difference is that the festival is an official school day. The teachers take attendance. As a result, everyone is there, and an easy way for the entire school community to interact. The second major difference is that only three of the nine grades are allowed to make money on their activities, but each class must either peform or provide some activity for the festival attendees. So all of the students are there providing for their community, and those that need to are generating funds for their school trips. Pretty cool.

Our kids had a great time running around, playing the games, and enjoying the beautiful day.
