Upcoming Events
April 25, 2025
Multicultural Night (6-8p)
Get ready for an exciting evening exploring different cultures and tasting different foods.
Kids will be encouraged to visit each booth and learn about a different culture whilst collecting stamps to earn a prize.
We would like to invite families to participate and share their chosen culture by hosting a booth. Some ideas for hosting a booth include:
Trifolds displaying information about the culture
Cultural artifacts/ornaments/flags
Photos/books
Games
Providing a taste of local foods (food permit required, further information will be provided to families who sign up).
You can choose any culture you'd like, it does not have to be your own (the more variety we have, the more interesting it'll be!)

Scholastic Book Fair
Scholastic Book Fair feels like a pop up book store hosted in Jing Mei's library. We will have aisles of books and fun items for sale with special Scholastic cash registers, just like a real store. Students are allowed to bring cash in a labeled envelope to school on shopping days, but if your student isn't quite ready for that there are other options.
Volunteers needed!
Please consider volunteering to support the book fair.
We can't do this without you!
