Journey down memory lane

In the Mid-Autumn Festival program for all levels, from preschool, primary school, middle school, high school, each level has its own activities and all follow the flow of memories.

Those are stories between Hang and Cuoi.

It is a creative story of grandmother and uncle Cuoi to take students on a mid-autumn journey with both modern and folk performances with interesting stories.

Those are the fruit trays that hold the memories of autumn, the memories of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the nights of carrying lanterns and watching the moon, the laughter of children under the full moon, among the star lanterns like thousands of twinkling stars. Memories have taken many generations through sweet childhoods. No matter how naughty, playful, or obedient, every child has a childhood, and has gentle and peaceful moon seasons like that.

All are told through each journey of the Alfred Nobel Inter-level Education System.

Many parents participating in the program have the same feeling: " My children all study at Alfred Nobel School. This is the first year I came to participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival program with the children. I felt extremely happy. The performances of the children were very professional but still adorable. The atmosphere was wonderful. I saw the joy in the eyes of the children. Not only my children, but I also burst into happiness." "I felt very happy when participating in the Mid-Autumn Festival program with Alfred Nobel. I didn't expect you guys to be so good. You planned the performance yourself, made the lion head yourself, and the lion dance was also wonderful. The fruit tray and the experiences for the children to make moon cakes were interesting experiences. Looking at the children, I felt like I saw my whole childhood."

Those are just a few opinions from hundreds of parents participating in this year's Mid-Autumn Festival program at the Alfred Nobel Inter-level Education System.

Mid-Autumn Festival of love - sharing, connecting

Recently, Alfred Nobel High School had a colorful and meaningful Mid-Autumn Festival. This was not only an opportunity for students to have fun, but also an opportunity to shine their talents, express their love and share with the community.

The most brilliant highlight of the program was the “Mid-Autumn Melody”. The special performances, choreographed and performed by the students themselves, created a colorful picture. From the clear singing melodies, graceful dances to the bustling drum beats, all created a vibrant and sparkling full moon festival atmosphere.

No less exciting was the “Happy Mid-Autumn Festival” competition. Classes created lion heads, masks of Ong Dia and Chu Teu from recycled materials such as cardboard, cloth or old canvas. With skillful hands and creativity, those simple items were transformed into unique props, bringing about lively lion dance performances, imbued with student spirit and full of solidarity.

Many children and parents are excited about an indispensable part of the Tray of Love. The elaborately prepared and delicately arranged trays of food not only beautify the festival space, but also contain the message of reunion and family. When the moment of breaking the tray of food comes, the high school students' classroom is filled with laughter, eager eyes and sweet sharing.

On the occasion of Mid-Autumn Festival, besides the bustling joy of the festival, students of Alfred Nobel Primary School together carried out a meaningful activity. With a heart of sharing, they donated money saved from breakfast, books, and toys to send to children in difficult circumstances in the project "Loving Leaves" of VTV1, and children in the Central region who are heavily affected by storm No. 10.

Each gift given is a warm encouragement, a loving embrace that the children give to their friends far away. Through that, the children not only enjoy a full Mid-Autumn Festival, but also learn a profound lesson about kindness, sharing and responsibility to the community.

Mr. Nguyen Huu Dung - Executive Director of Alfred Nobel Inter-level Education System said, " In every activity at school, we want to create a useful and interesting playground for students of all levels, but also an opportunity to equip them with knowledge about traditions, to infuse memories into daily activities so that they always preserve folk culture with outstanding development and modern technology, to integrate and become global citizens with the most solid foundations."

The 2025 Mid-Autumn Festival of Alfred Nobel Primary School opened in a colorful space, where the schoolyard was lit up by star-shaped lanterns, sparkling food trays and the clear laughter of children.

Each classroom becomes a small, pretty corner of the full moon season, when parents and students together set up the tray of offerings, sending love in each sweet fruit and cake. The innocent presentation resounded, not only telling about the meaning of the tray of offerings but also lighting up the creativity and pride of the children. And then, that joy continued to resonate in the school yard with folk games: from painting statues, making to he figurines, drawing masks to blindfolded pot smashing, ring tossing, and flag capturing. Cheers, crisp laughter mixed with brilliant colors, making the space like a miniature full moon fair. When the stage lights lit up, Ms. Hang and Mr. Cuoi appeared, leading the audience into the world of "Mid-Autumn Melody". The clear melodies, innocent dances and bright smiles turned the evening into a sparkling harmony of childhood. The highlight was the lion dance - lantern procession. Amidst the jubilant drum beats, the lion dance troupe gracefully led the long line of sparkling star lanterns around the school yard. That joy continued during the feast, when moon cakes, moon cakes and fruits were shared, as sweet as family affection.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Than - Principal of Alfred Nobel Primary School shared, " Continuing the tradition of ANS, always sharing and loving. The Mid-Autumn Festival of the Primary School is even more radiant because of the kindness. The children, along with teachers and parents, donated books, stories and gifts to the project "A pair of loving leaves". The full moon therefore not only lights up the school yard, but also spreads warmth to those who are still in difficult circumstances. This helps the children know how to share, know how to listen, know how to reduce hardships and understand the hardships of those who are not so fortunate . "
