To equip more students with basic sports injury management and first aid skills, Georgia's student team voluntarily launched the Safety in Reach program. Its goal is to make these "life-saving skills" easy to understand, learn, and truly integrate into everyone's daily life. The Tribe Activity is the team's second first-aid-themed event for all high school students, designed to provide practical and reliable basic first aid skills in a short time.
We are honored to have invited a team of experts from the Ningbo Medical Association to campus to provide professional guidance for the students. The experts systematically explained CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation), the Heimlich Maneuver, and the initial management of sports injuries, using common emergency situations on campus as examples. This helped everyone understand "why to do it" and "when it is needed."
After the knowledge session, students moved into the practical session, practicing chest compressions and the Heimlich maneuver under the guidance of the equipment. Teachers and experts provided demonstrations one by one and corrected each student's posture to ensure everyone mastered the correct techniques. The subsequent group competition then combined the first-aid procedures with real-life scenarios, allowing everyone to practice making judgments, collaborating, and performing the techniques in simulated situations. The activity reinforced what they learned in a lighthearted yet intense atmosphere.
The Literature Fair of Georgia's Secondary School is back! Language is the bridge of communication, and literature is the harbor of the soul. This event perfectly combines the two with speech and competition, creating an academic feast. Students from grades 6 to 12 have been preparing with great enthusiasm, actively participating in various carefully designed activities, and embarking together on a wonderful academic journey.
The grand opening of the Literature Fair was kicked off by the English Spelling Bee! This engaging and knowledge-packed language activity has been a favorite among students. Prior to the event, each class held its own internal competition, where participants fought fiercely for a spot in the finals. Ultimately, two "vocabulary warriors" from each class emerged victorious, representing their class on the final stage to compete in a battle of quick thinking and word mastery.
In the literary-themed speech session, well-prepared secondary school students expressed their diverse views. Eighth-grader Nora Ke first presented an analysis and comparison of two highly influential works in contemporary young adult fantasy literature, Harry Potter and Percy Jackson. Both center on the growth and adventures of young heroes but differ in world-building and cultural underpinnings. Tenth-grader Nikki Chen then compared our school's Brandenburg Farm with Polyface Farm in Virginia, USA, examining the two agricultural practice models. These speeches not only presented clear arguments with solid evidence but also demonstrated the students' global perspective gained from literature—they began to examine issues from the viewpoint of "global citizens" and cultivated cross-cultural understanding through textual interpretation.
The Thanksgiving holiday invites us to reflect and give thanks for the many ties that connect our human family. At Georgia School Ningbo, we express appreciation for shared cultural heritage and for the way our school community that helps students grow in understanding and compassion.

This fable about kindness and reward helped the students gain a deeper understanding of the true meaning of gratitude.
In the warm atmosphere of Thanksgiving, teachers and students gathered together to enjoy a hearty Thanksgiving lunch. The table was laden with traditional delicacies: golden and crispy roast turkey, sweet and delicious apple pie, creamy mashed potatoes, and other seasonal treats. These festive dishes not only satisfied everyone's taste buds but also brought the warmth of the holiday through shared moments.
