Reflections on Mufti Day

GRADE 5C – MUFTI DAY – HALLOWEEN – 30TH OCTOBER 2009

It was really fun dressing in the costumes. It was cool to see everyone’s idea of what’s scary! Halloween was fun for all the children. It was one of the best mufti days. It was fun for all the children to dress up all together. This was a good way to fund raise for CAS. It raised a lot of money because everyone wanted to have a good time.

Mufti Day is an interesting and inventive way of enthusing the children for a variety of reasons. Not only are the children excited about dressing up, they are also keen on contributing money towards the CAS programme. They feel for the underprivileged and donate generously at every month end. It sensitizes the students as they are able to appreciate the fact that they are the lucky few.
One such mufti day, Halloween, was especially successful. Every student dressed up in their fancy costumes. Ranging from skeletons to vampires, zombies to perky she-devils, there was a large and interesting variety of displays. The mood and the spirit remained throughout the day. Having teachers dress up and support the day added the extra bit for the children. It was truly enjoyable, exciting and fun to watch every child revel in the day’s merrymaking, and remember that at the end of the day, mufti day has been created for a cause.
