Bugil Sports Day...a wonderful riot of color and teamwork, as S.'s students showed the boy's school that girls could indeed hold their own! Bugil has separate boys and girls schools, but the program that S. teaches in is special in that all the classes are taught in English and both boys and girls attend the same classes. They are a part of Bugil, but separate. The "Global Leaders Program" or GLP participated for the first time this year during the boys' Sports Day.
The kids and I went up to see the second half of the festivities. There was traditional Korean wrestling, where the GLP boys made it to the semifinals.
There was tug-of-war where the 11th grade GLP team made it to the finals. This was an especially big deal since our GLP team consisted of BOTH boys and girls. Evidently the team that the GLP beat on the way to the finals was particularly disgruntled that they had been beat by a "bunch of girls." Way to go GLP!
(I didn't get photos of the actual tug-of-war, but our team is in the sky blue on the left)
And there were speeches. Long speeches in Korean where the students had to line up and stand very still. For a long time. Without moving. At all. Which is when O. started looking at grass.
And because you need a close up of the GLP uniform, and a pic of the baby....
