A Letter from the Executive Director

Dear SWAN Parents and Families:

In welcoming the holiday season, students across programs in SWAN preschool, after-school, weekend and virtual classrooms are creating holiday crafts and/or artwork to share their holiday spirits in Chinese. Check into your child's weekly folder or Google Classroom, share and be a proud SWAN parent!

I am also happy to announce, for the second half of the school year, programs are back on track in presenting singing performances, after-school writing, speech and calligraphy contest. Get ready for the performance/contest announcement on Google Classroom.

Before I end this note, a heartfelt "thank-you" to all the families who have supported SWAN on Giving Tuesday. You inspire us all to continue the work that we do everyday, your support is more than appreciated.

Please scroll below for your child's program announcement. Happy holidays!

Sincerely,

Fu Mei Cheung

Executive Director
