The ISNS Chinese Cultural Week has now reached its 18th year and has become the largest annual event fully supported by our Parent Committee. It is thoughtfully planned by the school’s Chinese language department, while the Parent Committee takes the lead in organizing the food fair. Many parent volunteers, especially mothers, prepare a wide variety of traditional Chinese dishes by hand and share them with every student and teacher on the day of the event.
The food represents the rich diversity of Chinese culture from north to south and from east to west. The children enjoy the food with smiles, and teachers speak highly of it. For many foreign students, the food fair becomes their very first taste of Chinese cuisine—and the beginning of their love for it.
As the current Chair of the Parent Committee, I will continue to carry forward and support this tradition. Every year, Parent Committee members work hard to raise funds and organize sales. Apart from a small portion donated to charitable organizations, all funds raised are used directly to support school programs and student activities. Our Parent Committee members and parent volunteers dedicate their time and energy to every task, because seeing the children’s smiles and sense of joy is our greatest motivation.
If you would like to continue supporting the ISNS community and its activities, you are warmly welcome to join the Parent Committee and be part of our efforts.
