Multicultural Family Love Letter Contest

Tiffany earned the Silver Award

In May, during Korean Family Month, students from Dalian American International School had the chance to join the Multicultural Family Love Letter Contest. Korean Family Month, which celebrates days like Children’s Day, Parents’ Day, and Teacher’s Day, offered a special opportunity for our students to connect with Korean culture by writing heartfelt love letters to their family members.

A special ceremony was held at Dalian Korean School on August 15, where winners were invited to collect their prizes, and Chansong had the chance to recite her winning letter on stage. It was a great experience for everyone involved, and we’re proud of our students for embracing this unique cultural opportunity!
