Dear Parents and Guardians,
I hope you are all enjoying the incredible weather and having a wonderful February break!
It was great to see so many of you at our Black History Month celebration last Friday. The Dragon students worked really hard throughout this entire unit on Wangari Maathai, and I was really proud of what they were able to read, write, and perform!

Our next school celebration will be the Lunar New Year event on Friday, February 27th. Here are the most important details:
- 9:00am - Church hall opens for parent/family seating
- 10:00am - Kindergarten Performance (We will be the first group to perform, so we will be on "stage" between 9:15 and 10:00 throughout the setup, speeches, and lion dance...this is a good time for photos! :)
- Dress Code - No uniforms required! Please wear RED if possible, but if you have a special Chinese-style outfit that is not red, feel free to wear that instead!
- Potluck Lunch - All family and friends are invited to our potluck lunch immediately following the performance (around 12 noon). Thank you so much to all of the parents who have already signed up to contribute a dish!
In honor of Lunar New Year, the Dragon students will be making dumplings on Tuesday, February 24th! If you would like to volunteer, or if you can help to contribute one of the following ingredients, please contact one of our room parents to sign up:
- Volunteers Needed (8:30am-10:30am) - 5 parents to help supervise the dumpling making process from 8:30-9:30, and 2 or 3 to stay and help cook the dumplings between 9:30 and 10:30
- Ingredients Needed - dumpling filling (no shrimp please), dumpling skins (around 300 total), 2 large pots, 1 electric or gas tabletop stove (I have one already)
March is just around the corner, which means it's almost time for our second round of Parent Teacher Conferences! Please sign up for a time slot, and email me in advance with any specific questions/concerns you'd like discuss during our conference. I look forward to meeting with all of you!
Have a terrific week, and happy Lunar New Year to all!
