Raey Guang Elementary School Visits!!

This morning, we officially welcomed our friends from Raey Guang Elementary School! They arrived on Wednesday morning and we have spent the past 36 hours learning about one another’s educational, cultural and social traditions. As a school, we celebrated our international friendship with songs, gifts and more together.

Mr. Bowen, one of our fourth grade teachers, created a slide show with highlights of the ceremony. You can watch this below!

Visitors from Taiwan!

On Thursday, June 3, we had visitors from our sister school Ruay Guang Elementary here from Taiwan!  Unfortunately, we did not have any pen-pals, as they were mostly upper elementary students, but we did have the privilege of seeing them around our school that day and then attending an assembly in their honor that afternoon.  We sang a song for them to welcome them, and they in turn played their recorders for us!  We had gifts for them and they had gifts for us too!  At the very end, we all sang “Heal the World” together by Michael Jackson.  It was very moving!  We all loved that song too!  I’ll try to put it on our mixpod!
