Dear reader,<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Winter cold and a beautiful blanket of frost enveloped Ranum Efterskole College this week. The students moved closer together in the cold and on the big USA Election Night more than 350 young people gathered in the ballroom. The week has offered many activities in the cultural subjects and in the clubs. The weekend was spent with sibling visits and a fantastic Halloween night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Sunday, a group of students collected 6320 DKK for the Danish Refugee Council in the local area.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sibling weekend with look-a-like competition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

During the sibling weekend we had a Look-a-like competition, which had lots of fun entries. But nobody could beat the winners, Anders and his little sister.
The weekend was full of fun and games. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Animal Welfare visits Aalborg Zoo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the context of one of the 22 upcoming cultural trips, Animal Welfare had to prepare for the many exotic animals they might come into contact with in January. And where is the easiest place to see and feed elephants? The zoo! So they visited Aalborg Zoo to get a thorough introduction to the different animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vietnamese dinner<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Last Thursday, the gastronomy kitchen was busy. Here they made real Vietnamese spring rolls, spring rolls, together with our Vietnamese guest visitor Jennie, seen in the centre.
Jennie has gone back to Vietnam this week, but has been a really lovely and unifying person at school.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Valgaven w. Pizza, Burger & Donuts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Int. department head Matt Danaher, in collaboration with great colleagues, created a fantastic election-evening on Tuesday evening and night. There was, of course, an American menu, flags, large banners of the candidates and a lesson in American TV election drama. The students pretty much all stayed up all night, but then they were also so exhausted from the long \"teaching night\" that they got to sleep in the last 2 afternoon hours the next day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Election Night - a horror and a shock.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The mood dropped below freezing overnight and by morning many of the students, especially those from Mexico, were in shock that Donald could become the most powerful man in the world with fewer votes than Hillary.
It is sometimes difficult to explain the democratic processes, and this has of course been a major issue in the community gatherings this week. Many former students have also commented on the elections and sent greetings to their friends in the US and Mexico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
