Are you curious about what some people in our WMS community will be celebrating this week? Today there are two major harvest 

holidays that people will be celebrating:the Mid-Autumn festival in China, East and South-East Asia, and Chuseok in Korea. The mid-autumn festival, or Moon Festival, is a family-centered holiday celebrating togetherness and a good harvest. Moon cakes are foods often eaten at this festival. Chuseok is the harvest festival that also honors and celebrates 

deceased ancestors. Tonight also begins the Jewish holiday of Sukkot. Sukkot is the week-long Harvest Festival that celebrates the gathering of the harvest. It also commemorates the protection provided for the children of Israel when they left Egypt. We wish all people at WMS observing these holidays, a happy Mid-Autumn Festival, happy Chuseok, and happy Sukkot. 

The bus to Boston will leave at 3:30 today.  The late bus in Wellesley also leaves at 3:30. All students need to listen for the PA announcements for their departure from WMS.

Have a good day everyone!
