3 Activities To Look Forward To This Fall

September 7, 2015 AYA Leave a Comment

Fall is all about back to school, sports and the upcoming holidays. We know our students are settling in and eager to experience new American traditions. We’ve asked our families and alumni students what they enjoyed most during the fall. Here’s what their top activities to look forward to are:

1. Homecoming

A chance to get all dressed up, ask someone to the dance or just show up with friends. It’s certainly an American high school tradition that everyone enjoys!

2. Football Season 

The football season has officially started all across the US. And of course it’s not European football but it’s a sport players and fans all get excited for!

3. Pumpkin Carving

With Halloween at the end of October families across America begin to carve their jack-o-lanterns. Feel free to get creative with this! And remember, leftover pumpkin always tastes better in a pie!
