Beijing Olympics

With the Summer Olympics being hosted in Beijing, China in August 2008, we have the opportunity to incorporate the theme into the school over the next year. There are many opportunities to incorporate the Olympics into Art, Phy Ed, Reading, Celebrations, etc.

Play Dates Set

An informal playgroup has been set for the last Thursday of each month at the Eisenhower playground. We will be meeting from 6:30 to 7:30 each night allowing our children to make some new friends before school begins. Since the XinXing student body will be coming from many different communities, the playgroup are a step to create our own school community and ease the transition of the kindergartners.

The playgroup dates are May 31, June 28, July 26, Aug. 30.

Please note:
If construction does not allow us to use the playground during the summer we will meet at
Alice Smith Elementary School
801 Minnetonka Mills Rd.
