My Project

Our kindergarten students are excited to celebrate the upcoming Lunar New Year with a vibrant show that will immerse our students in this important holiday. To make this event truly special, we are seeking your generous support to provide essential materials for our celebration. We need clothing for costumes that will match the theme of the song we plan to perform, lanterns, and lights to create an enchanting atmosphere that reflects the festive spirit of the holiday. In addition, we are also in need of celebration supplies such as brown Kraft paper, paper plates, forks, and construction paper for various art projects. These materials will enable our students to engage in hands-on activities that foster creativity and collaboration. By participating in these projects, students will gain a deeper understanding of the cultural significance of the Lunar New Year and develop a sense of pride in their heritage.

"Education breeds confidence.

Confidence breeds hope. Hope breeds peace."

-Confucius

Thank you for considering our request and for your continued dedication to enriching the lives of our students.
