Goodbye, October

As we say goodbye to October and welcome November, we're looking forward to some exciting upcoming events, including Vietnamese Culture Day and our American Thanksgiving celebration! There are lots of fun activities and opportunities to learn, explore, and celebrate together. We'll share more details as these dates get closer. 😊

Halloween Fun & Fantastic Costumes!

A big thank-you to everyone who dressed up for Halloween! We had so many fantastic costumes, creative ideas, and spooky looks. It was wonderful to see everyone getting into the Halloween spirit!

We'll be moving the carnival part of our Halloween celebration to next Friday, November 6. This means students will have a chance to enjoy the carnival games and use all the tickets they've been earning. 🎃

Stay & Play

Thursday, November 12 · 3:30–4:15 PM

Save the date! On November 12, we'll be hosting a Stay & Play from 3:30–4:15 PM. Families are invited to come onto campus, spend some time together, and enjoy a relaxed afternoon. We'll have different activity stations set up for students to play, explore, and have fun. It's also a great chance for new families to meet everyone and get to know our community. More details to come! 😊
