The most recent holiday celebrated was Wan Meh (mother's day). This turned out to be amongst my favorite holidays celebrated in Thailand. All the mothers were invited to school were the ceremony was held. The students sang serveral songs honoring their moms then each student wai'd and gave their mom a hug. It was very sweet and I could tell the students really love them.
Here are pictures of the Holidays (thai and American) throughout the year:
Mother's Day- Wai-ing to their moms
