2022 Happy New Year with love-Pta meeting & Parent appreciation Meeting
On the occasion of the 2022 New Year festivities, the third new year and the third Happy activity arrived at SUIS Qingpu as scheduled. The school invited representatives from the Parent Support Group (PSG) to gather at the Ancient Scholars House, not only as a prelude to the Happy charity activities that will soon joyfully take place on our campus, but also as an opportunity for the school to express the its sincere gratitude for the PSG’s full support.
The host, Co-Acting Principal Sunny Huang, expressed her sincerest and warmest welcome to the guests and parents.Principal Huang reviewed SUIS Qingpu’s charity donation activities over the previous two years and we had delivered on our commitment to taking on a whole-school, unity-in-diversity approach. The school will continue to donate annually to poor areas in Yunnan, and will also set up a special “Sunshine Association Incentive Fund”, used to support children, and thus doing what it can for public welfare.
As SUIS Qingpu’s charity emissary, Vice-Principal Leo Ge personally travelled to Yunnan in 2021 to send love and support to children in several poor areas. He shared a short video with the PSG representatives to show SUIS Qingpu bringing warmth and hope to the Yunnan Zhongping Primary School. At the same time, this year’s charity plans were shared, with the school adding Dahai Primary School as an associate school.
Lisa Wang, Co-Head of the High School division and a liaison for the PSG, focused on the details for this year’s charitable activities. The entire event will be divided into three sections: a Flea Market of Love, an online charity auction, and a ‘happy free-dress day’, which together reflect the theme of “love, sharing and joy”. Ms. Yin Hua, the PSG’s Director, gave a detailed description of the income and expenditure of charitable funds over the past two years. The open and transparent supervision mechanism of the financial team continues to effectively ensure that every kind donation is put to effective use.
General Principal Maxine Lu’s speech brought the meeting to a joyful close. In order to express our gratitude, the school carefully prepared thank you cards and small gifts, with the principals’ signatures on them.
In the final segment of the event, SUIS Qingpu students and music teachers gave wonderful performances, one after another. Primary School Choir students are young and full of spirit, while High School students are skilled and generous. The beautiful songs and instrumental music performances rang in the new year to the joyful tune of “Happiness”.
