A Happy New Year! Hope you had a wonderful holiday. Thanks to the many parent volunteers and generous donations, we were able to distribute gifts to all students, and the holiday program was a great success in December. The Santa Claus appearance made the event even more cheerful. And we appreciate those volunteers who stayed until the very end to clean up afterwards. Our next event is the New Year Party on February 2nd. We are planning this event with lots of entertainment and a drawing gift of $75 tuition credit for three lucky families. Hope to see many faces there!
