Suwon Uiui Elementary School Hosts Festival..."A Week Without Backpacks"

Suwon Uiui Elementary School hosted a special autumn festival created together by students, staff, and parents.

Uiui Elementary School (Principal Lee Ok-kyung) announced on the 19th that it will hold the '2026 Happy Dream Festival We Create Together, Uiui Festival' for five days from the 19th to the 23rd.

This festival, themed around being "Exciting, Unique, and Interesting," was designed to allow students to explore their dreams and talents through various experiences beyond traditional classroom instruction.

During the event period, the school will operate a "Week Without Backpacks" and conduct diverse programs including grade-level sports days, cultural arts experience presentations, afterschool and childcare exhibitions, AI experience festivals, and reading events.

The Uiui Elementary School Parent Association (President Shin Sang-hee) is also actively participating in the festival. Parents are distributing snacks and beverages according to each grade's sports day and supporting a "4-Cut Photo" booth experience where students can capture memories with their friends.

In particular, parents voluntarily participating in volunteer work to support students' experiential activities adds meaning to the festival as an event created together by the school and parents, transcending a simple in-school event.

President Shin Sang-hee said, "I am delighted to be able to contribute even a small effort to help children laugh joyfully at school and create happy memories," adding "We will continue to actively participate in school educational activities and support our children's happy school lives."

Principal Lee Ok-kyung stated, "I hope this will be a meaningful time for students to discover their talents through various experiences and build precious memories with friends," and expressed appreciation, saying "I am grateful to the parent association for sharing their time and dedication for our students."
