March 8th was a big celebration here in Moldova (as well as internationally). We celebrated women and girls across the country with Ziua femeilor, Women's Day. Our school was on a vacation on the 8th, so my health club and I decided to start the celebrations a little early on the March 4th.
We made over 200 little paper corsages with little notes of appreciation (Examples: You're beautiful, You're like a star, You're intelligent, etc.) to hand out to all of the girls and women at school.
We wanted to do a little something extra special for the female teachers and staff, so we practiced and gave hand massages.
Hand massaging was a new thing for the kids so they practiced at home on their mothers. They told me they used oil because they didn't have lotion.
Here are some pictures of the actual event. (I forgot to take pictures of the kids passing out the corsages.)

It was a good time. : )
