Special Assembly: Insights from a Legend
We are honored to welcome Olympic Champion Ma Yanhong—the first Chinese gymnast to win gold at both the World Championships and Olympic Games—for an exclusive assembly with our secondary students.

In this special interview-style event, Mr. Miller will guide a conversation exploring Champion Ma's journey of discovering purpose through discipline, overcoming failure, and achieving extraordinary success. The session will be conducted in Chinese with English translation provided.

Secondary students will gather in the Large Auditorium on Friday, May 16 from 11:45 AM to 12:30 PM. This is a unique opportunity to gain wisdom from a true sporting legend. Let's give Champion Ma a warm welcome as she shares her inspiring story with our community.

Interested parents are welcome to attend but must RSVP by Wednesday, May 14. Please note that photography and videography will be strictly prohibited to ensure a distraction-free environment for our guest and students.

Elementary Field Day Rescheduled
The Elementary Field Day that was originally scheduled for this Friday, May 9, has been rescheduled for Tuesday, May 20, due to the weather forcase predicting a 90-95% chance of rain this Friday. Additionally, because the high school is taking AP exams, we want to respect the students who have worked hard studying by keeping the building quiet. For this reason, we decided not to move the event indoors.
