First-grade Chinese immersion students at Stewart Elementary School recently brought stories to life through a traditional Chinese shadow play performance.

Students designed puppets, practiced storytelling in Chinese and performed classic tales such as “The Three Little Pigs,” “Little Red Riding Hood” and “The Tortoise and the Hare” while exploring the science concepts of light and shadow.

Chinese shadow play, also known as shadow puppetry, is a traditional art form that dates back more than 2,000 years and continues to be an important part of Chinese culture today. Through hands-on learning experiences like this, students build language skills, cultural understanding, creativity and confidence in meaningful ways.

Thank you to first-grade Chinese immersion teacher Yenchu Wang for helping students experience the joy of learning through culture, performance and imagination.

Please be sure to sign up to help with Field Day. We are appreciative of all the parents that make this great day happen. https://app.smore.com/n/9t7m2

April is the Month of the Military Child. We invite everyone to wear purple on Friday! Purple Up Day celebrates the children of military families, acknowledging the unique challenges they face, such as frequent relocations, parental deployments, and adapting to new schools and communities. The day encourages everyone to wear purple, symbolizing unity across all branches of the military—Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, Air Force, and Space Force. By wearing purple, communities show support and appreciation for military children, letting them know they are recognized and valued.
