China Spirit Day and China Week
During the week of Oct. 23rd -27th we will be having a China Week to celebrate the Chong Yang Festival. It falls on the 9th day of the 9th month on a lunar calendar. It’s also designated as Senior’s Day, for everyone to pay respect to the elderly. Our goal is for students to experience different aspect of life in China, from PE to music to in class writing activities!
During F&F that week, each class will participate preparing a Chinese dessert called Tang Yuan (Glutinous Rice Balls). Tuesday, Oct. 24th is Wear Red Day, and a Chinese meal will be served Thursday, October 26. Thank you for helping our children gain a stronger global perspective!
