On January 19, 2024, the Grade 4 and Grade 5 classes together with the Principals, admin, and teachers visited the orphanage.

This morning our school had a very special experience - we visited Chuc Tu Orphanage on Dien Bien Phu street, to donate money and gifts raised from our Winter Bake Sale. The orphanage is home to 80 students - the oldest being about six years old and the youngest being tiny little babies.

READING CLUB

For our first meeting of 2024, students read a heartfelt story called, "The Invisible String" by Patrick Karst. Then, students learned about magnets and how it is also an invisible force. Finally, they applied what they learned in a fun STEAM project where they made a maze out of straws and led a paper clip through it using magnets.
Great job, Readers!
