Dear generous Donors, Sponsors, Parent Volunteers, Alumni, and MIMS community,

    As we wrap up the mid autumn season, and reflect on our Mid Autumn Festival; we’d like to thank you for your generous support. Your kindness and support make  it possible to offer cultural festivals, like Mid-Autumn Festival, to the community

     We are happy to say, because you shared your time, talents, and treasure, we continue to plan wonderful events for our campus. Your generous donations, afforded MIMS PTO to celebrate with upwards of more than 600 participants and volunteers. Additionally, we were able to help cover the cost of the festival, provide meals to teacher and student volunteers and provide several Chinese cultural activities for free.

     This year‘s Mid Autumn Festival was the biggest with great positive feedback from vendors, parents, volunteers and students, alike. Again, thank you so much for supporting our school community.  We look forward to seeing you at our next festival.
