I was invited to join my son and daughter to their school rally. This is an exciting time for the high school students. This rally is designed to get the high school body fired up with the schools athletics. I knew they had a bon fire night planned and the students were all going to attend. I thought of a great idea to accentuate this exciting event. I thought I’d teach some of students the art of making sky lanterns.
I bought some sky lanterns wholesale. This was a cheaper and more affordable way for me to purchase the sky lanterns. The students really got into building their small sky lanterns. They all were very excited and couldn’t wait to launch them on bonfire night.

The event was scheduled on a Friday night and the weather was going to be perfect for the big event. I must say even I was getting excited and looked forward to the rally. I decided to have my wife and some of the neighbors come to add support and help organize everything. The night of the bonfire there was a huge crowd of students, teachers and parents at the event.

There were also cheerleaders pumping up the crowd with high school cheers and the principal recited a speech about the school and displaying the school pride and being supportive of the all the school teams throughout the year. The crowd was all cheering as they ignited the huge bonfire. Me and the students got our Chinese paper sky lanterns ready to light. We were going to wait until after the bonfire died down a a bit so that everyone could see them and enjoy them.
As things died down a bit I asked the principal to make a short announcement about the sky lanterns. I told the students to think of these lanterns as their goals in life. If they had a fire and passion they could reach all their goals.

A lot of students put their graduation date and the high school name on them. It turned out to be the highlight of the event as the students cheered and watched their sky lanterns float away into the night sky. I thought I’d tell you all about this great event and thank you for all your support. We could not learn how to make a sky lanterns with out you and all your tips.
