On December 24^th, 2009. Our school celebrated Christmas Eve. We brought 2 big tanks of cakes and 12 big bottles of cokes for students to celebrate this special day as well as to welcome the upcoming Christmas day.

Before the Christmas celebration started, all the students had to finish their farm behind the school. Because they haven't finished their farm yet since last week. When they have already raised a ridge for growing salad, the school principle will lead them to grow salad. Actually, all the EVS3's students they usually do the farm through season year.

In recent year Cambodian people seem so popular to use and play white powder with good smell in many ceremonies, especially during Khmer New Year. As for our schools in almost every party and ceremony, they love playing powder with one another.

The students were gathering in the computer room to to vote for the best Christmas card which drew by all students from grade 4 – 6. Before voting, they were freely to check up all the Christmas cards for their favorite and decided which one they love. When voting, they had to arrange a small piece of paper and put them into the poll box. When the children have already put their votes into the box, Mr. Sovann Heng was a committee in the competition to pick out the vote for the winner.

The selection was really fair, because all the Christmas cards were voted by their friends. The table below showing a number of students who got top vote.
