Director's Message
January was an amazing start to the new year, filled with fresh energy, new goals, and exciting experiences! As we move into February, we’re excited to continue building on this momentum, growing together as a community, and embracing new opportunities. With so much ahead, we’re eager to keep pushing boundaries, supporting each other, and making this year even better. Let’s carry that January spirit into February and beyond, creating even more memorable moments along the way!
Program Highlights
Engagement Activities
This month, we’ll continue our journey with the "Eco Warriors" theme, diving deeper into environmental conservation and discovering more ways we can protect our planet. We’re also excited to introduce two new themes: "Rhythms of the World," where students will explore the global diversity of music and rhythm, and "Art of Animation," where they’ll learn about the creative process behind animation and storytelling. It’s shaping up to be an inspiring and dynamic month of learning!
Community Events
Valentine's Day is almost here, and we’re excited to celebrate the season of love and friendship! We’ll be spreading some sweetness with fun Valentine’s Day treats. Plus, we have a small gift for our students that will make anyone’s day brighter. Whether you're celebrating with a best friend, a teacher, or a loved one, this day is all about showing kindness and appreciation.
