🎪 Reading

Every year, the school festival brings students, families, and teachers together—but few people realize how much work goes into making it happen. From designing posters to setting up games and catering food, every detail must be carefully planned.

Maya, the head of the festival committee, was known for her dexterous hands and sharp mind. She could tie banners in seconds, repair decorations, and organize materials like a pro. But this year’s festival was bigger than ever, and she needed help.

There were booths to design, supplies to gather, and performances to schedule. It wasn’t just about fun—it required serious coordination. Maya created a team and gave each person a job: some were in charge of games, others handled food, and one group managed the stage. They practiced communication and teamwork, adjusting plans when things didn’t go right.

The day before the event, the gym was buzzing with anticipation. Smells of sweet waffles and savory noodles filled the air. Students tested microphones, organized chairs, and triple-checked the lights. Every small piece of the puzzle mattered.

Behind the fun, it was the careful logistics that made everything run smoothly. The food was hot, the games worked, and the visitors smiled. Thanks to Maya and her team, the school festival was a success—and they learned that good planning is just as exciting as the event itself.
