In case you missed the mouth-watering smell of roasted turkey last Sunday, MLP Grade 3 students had a rare but creative way of learning about the traditions and meanings of Thanksgiving. With dedicated support from the class’s parents, Teacher Tang Ying prepared a full “Thanksgiving Dinner” for the entire class. Children tasted Teacher Tang’s homemade smoked turkey and other Thanksgiving favorites. Parents were also invited to taste. Thank you to Teacher Tang and parents of the class for their love and care of our children! 
- MLCCC Youths Dance Troupe Performed on Stage with Visiting Art Troupes from China
This past Monday, November 13, our Youths Dance Troupe participated in the Greater Philadelphia Chinese School Union (GPCSU) sponsored cultural exchange event in Blue Bell. Our parents and students made every effort to arrive at the event on time after a long day’s work or school. We thank our parents, students, and especially teacher Weiwei for their dedication and all-out efforts!!
At the event, our dancers had a rare opportunity to interact with a visiting troupe from China on stage. We hope our children enjoyed the interactions and the event! Check out the photos and videos below! Elegant and gorgeous!
Congratulations on another superb job!
