President's Message

Dear Parents, Teachers and Staffs,

I hope this message finds you well and that everyone is settling into a new school year with enthusiasm and optimism. As we wrap up the first month of the school year, we wanted to take a moment to thank you for your incredible support and enthusiasm.

We’re thrilled to see our students settling in, making new friends, and diving into their studies with such energy and positivity. Our dedicated teachers and staffs have been working tirelessly to ensure our children are welcomed warmly and set up for a successful year ahead. From the warm welcome at meet-and-greet to the hours that our parent volunteers generously given, your involvement has truly made a difference.

Looking ahead, we have some exciting events and opportunities that we can’t wait to share with you. We are kick-starting the school year with Mid-Autumn Festival on 9/20, following with Moon Gala on 10/25. These are our major community events in the Fall, promising to fill your day with joy, memories and laughter. We encourage you to get involved and lend your support where you can—it’s a wonderful way to connect with other parents and contribute to the vibrant community that makes our school so special.

Please keep an eye on our newsletters and the PTO website for upcoming events and ways to get involved. If you have any questions, suggestions, or just want to chat, feel free to reach out to me or any of the PTO board members. “We will be there for you” 

Here’s to a fantastic year filled with learning, growth, and memorable experiences for our students. Thank you for your continued support, and let’s make this school year the best one yet!


Cheers,
Amanda Tan
PTO Board President 24-25

MID-AUTUMN FESTIVAL 2024
