Candlelight Party is a well-known and traditional event at the MacDuffie School.It originated from the Granby General School in 1890.Now, on the occasion of the 132nd anniversary of the school, Shanghai MacDuffie School held a grand candlelight night to mark the beginning of the new school year. At the same time, the MacDuffie family also welcomed new members. Let's take a look back at the best moments from the scene.

美达菲之夜，上海美达菲全体师生齐聚操场，一起期待着今晚的The MacDuffie School Candlelight Party 的开始。在 Candlelight Party 现场，美丽的夜色中充满温馨的气息，欢快舒缓的音乐围绕耳边，伴随着音乐的节奏，同学们纷纷挥动起手中的烛光，闪闪的烛光点燃了每个人心中的热情，每个人都沉浸在欢乐的海洋中。

On the MacDuffie School Candlelight Party , all teachers and students of Shanghai MacDuffie School gathered together in the playground and looked forward to the start of the Candlelight Party. On the Candlelight Party site, the beautiful night was full of warm atmosphere, cheerful and soothing music around. Along with the rhythm of the music, the students waved the candlelights in their hands. The shining candlelight ignited the enthusiasm in everyone's heart. Everyone was immersed in the ocean of joy.

一首首快乐的歌曲

一支支活力四射的舞蹈......

整个校园沉浸在欢乐的海洋中

The happy songs and

 energetic dances made the whole

 campus immersed in the sea of joy.

学生们在活动中培养兴趣，陶冶情操，开阔视野，锻炼能力，找到自信，发展特长，收获成功感和幸福感，丰富了校园文化生活，营造了浓厚的校园艺术氛围，真正实现了“怀中国心 做世界人”的办学理念。

In the activities, the students cultivated their interests and sentiments, broadened horizons, exercised abilities, improved confidence and gained a sense of success and happiness, enriching the campus cultural life, creating a strong campus art atmosphere, and truly realizing the school-running philosophy of "Being a global person with a Chinese heart".

晚会的压轴部分，是由全校学生围成一个大圆圈，共同见证篝火的点燃，它象征着美达菲对全体学生的热烈欢迎与新学年的启航，伴随着精彩的灯光秀，兴奋激昂的气氛弥漫了整个操场。将活动气氛推向了高潮。

The final part of the party was that the whole school students formed a big circle to witness the lighting of the bonfire, which symbolized the warm welcome to all the students and the start of the new school year. With the wonderful light show, the exciting atmosphere filled the whole playground,  pushing the activity to the climax.

热烈后的沉默能够让人有更多的思考。此时此刻，全体师生手捧烛光，静默30秒，思考Circle value对自己的意义。美达菲的价值观：集体、正直、尊重、创造力、领导力、卓越，看似是六个简单的词，但对于每个不同的个体而言，却有着特殊的意义。

The silence after warmth could inspire us to think more. At this moment, all teachers and students held candlelights and kept silent for 30 seconds, thinking about the meaning of Circle Value to themselves.  As the value of MacDuffie--community, integrity, respect, creativity, leadership, excellence, may seem just to be six simple words, however, they have a special meaning for each special individual.

耀眼的火焰、闪烁的烛光 

不仅再一次点燃了在场每一个人的激情 

更传递了所有美达菲人的梦想

希望上海美达菲学子们

可以通过这场意义非凡的传统活动

一起寻求集体的温暖与治愈的力量

并且能够把这份正能量传播下去

拥抱健康生活，创造美好未来！

A dazzling flame, a flickering candle 

Not only did they ignite the passion of everyone present once again

but also delivered the dream of all the MacDuffie

I sincerely hope that all the student of Shanghai MacDuffie

will seek for the warmth from community

 and the power to heal together

through this extraordinary tradition activity.

We all are able to spread that positive energy

embrace a healthy life and create a better future!
