FIELD DAY THANK YOU

Last Fri., Sep. 13th, 2024

THANK YOU to all of our wonderful alumni and parent volunteers! Jax, who graduated last year, had the day off school so he volunteered to help Mr. Liou and Mrs. Dudek during field games. Later in the day, Barbara Malnar-Styke (Finley) joined us for biking. Field Day was a huge success thanks to your help. We can't have these events without volunteers, and the kids and Steppingstone staff so appreciate you!!!

YOGA - PRACTICING

CELEBRATING

MID-AUTUMN FESTIVAL

Mandarin Class

In celebration of the Mid-Autumn/Moon Cake Festival (Tue., Sep.17), students learned about the festival during this week’s Mandarin class. Pictured below, students sampled mung bean cakes and even made their own Moon Cakes with special "doh".

In Chinese culture, festivals such as the mid-autumn festival are an important family gathering opportunity. There's even an old saying that goes "People and the moon reunite to form a full circle". Mooncakes are a traditional food associated with the festival, and the ingredients and cooking style vary all across Asia.
