Thanks to a generous grant from the PTA, we are excited to welcome student dance groups from Dearborn Park International School for a special assembly celebrating Lunar New Year!
Helen Zhou, the talented vocal and dance instructor behind the group, has graciously worked with us to bring a scaled-down version of the troupe to accommodate our space and schedule.

⏰ 10:45 AM

Families are welcome to attend—please remember to sign in at the office upon arrival.
We can’t wait to see these amazing student performers in action!
In partnership,
Barry Fisk (he/him)
