Dear Parents,
I hope this email finds you well. Thank you to all the parents for coming to the Christmas concert and market on Saturday. It was indeed a community effort. Thanks to all our performing arts team, logistics team, event organizing committee and last but not the least; yourselves for making this a great success.
Our wonderful Secondary student council is organizing the Christmas Spirit week in collaboration with the Primary Student Council. There are a series of Christmas Spirit events beginning this week and continuing until the last week of school before the Christmas break.
December 1st – December 12th: Share the Joy Donation Drive
We are collecting pre-loved or brand-new winter clothing, shoes, blankets, backpacks, and brand-new socks to donate to the Yellow River Soup Kitchen, which will distribute them to homeless individuals in Xi’an. The donation drop-off box is located in the 1st-floor library.
Starting December 8th: Candy Cane Christmas Message
