Carol Lidfeldt

PE Teacher, Activity Director, CAS – 1972-2004

“When I first started at the school in August 1972, called then Anglo American School, I was told by the Principal that the school had a tradition form years past and it would be my duty and responsibility to see that the tradition would continue. I was told this tradition was the annual Teacher-Student basketball game held every December just before the end of the first term. I was happy to see that this tradition of the basketball game continued all throughout my years.

At the beginning of every fall term, the upper class students, then grades 7-9 and later 6-9, would begin asking and talking about the teacher-basketball game to be held on a December afternoon at the end of the term. It was something that they really looked forward to see and maybe even get to participate in as a player. Upper school teachers, principals and other members of staff would participate. All students in the upper school were also welcomed to participate.

It was a tradition of the school that brought happiness and a wonderful way to end the fall term. Sadly to say this tradition ended in 2002 or 2003. It was greatly missed by all!
