The leaves slowly fall with the breeze, and the sun brightly shines on the earth. IGDVS Lantern Festival was filled with mouthwatering mooncakes, challenging riddles, mesmerizing poetry-song, and memorable storytelling. In conjunction with a children’s book release, Bright Moon, by Catrina Milner, Mr. Brian Conroy taught techniques on how to tell engaging stories. Amid echoing laughter and radiant smiles, students recounted tales of their childhood and practiced storytelling gestures and poses.

Time flew by, and the bell soon rang to signal the end of the day. The students are grateful for the meaningful Lantern Festival by engaging in  storytelling led by Mr. Brian Conroy.
