Wow! Last March, Hsinmin Elementary School turned into a super cool magic school for all the new first-graders and their parents! It was an amazing day filled with fun and surprises.

First, our talented flute ensemble and string ensemble played beautiful music, making everyone feel like they were in a real music magic academy. Then, some friendly "little elf" helpers guided everyone on an exciting tour around the school.

They visited the "Amazing Library" to hear stories from Teacher Joseph. In the "Art and Music Classroom," they watched a fun play and listened to the guzheng. Even the bathrooms were special! At the "Mondrian Art Restrooms," little guides shared cool facts in both Chinese and English.

Outside on the playground, they pretended to be at a train station and practiced speaking English to ride the train! In the hall, they became musicians and tried playing the violin and cello. In the science room, they put on VR headsets and were instantly transported to the North Pole to see the amazing Northern Lights! And guess what? They even made yummy hot sweet potato balls next to the painted wall!

Finally, everyone learned about the special International IE Class. It sounds like magic! This class helps kids learn English easily, just by being around it all the time.

Our principal and teachers at Hsinmin Elementary are always thinking, "What more can we do for our kids?" And that's why they created such a magical day for everyone!

On Saturday, December 14, 2024, our school was buzzing with energy for the School Anniversary Grand Relay Race!

Our 4th, 5th, and 6th graders lined up, ready to sprint and pass the baton as fast as they could. It was an amazing sight to see every class working together, cheering loudly for their teammates. The whole school was there, shouting encouragement and showing incredible spirit!

This fun race was all about teamwork and class spirit. Everyone did their best, not just to win, but to support their friends and make their class proud. It was a fantastic day that showed how strong and united our Hsinmin Elementary family is!
