There’s no time like the end of the year to celebrate and that is exactly what the Oxford Junior School did! Students, teachers and parents joined the festivities at the school campus. Amporn Chaedae, school director, led the group in the celebrations as they ate and sang throughout the party, creating an atmosphere of warmth and love.

The highlight was a touching performance put on by the children featuring the Little Angels as well as lip-syncing to popular songs, drawing much amusement from fellow students, parents and teachers before drawing tickets for gifts for the children.

Nativity play, one of the highlights of the night.

Amporn Chaedae said that the school has a special program for students and their parents to make merit during this festive season by donating needed items to the Banglamung Home for the Aged.

The school is located just off Sukhumvit Road and teaches children from the age of 3 to primary school levels.
