Open Days
Register for our Open Day
On the American Thanksgiving Day, we pause to celebrate gratitude and togetherness. At Dalian American International School, we are thankful for our vibrant community: students, families, teachers, staff, and alumni. Your support and spirit remind us that together is better. Over the past days, this sense of unity has come to life through a variety of activities and traditions that brought joy, learning, delicious meals, and connection to our campus.
In Grade 5 Mandarin class, students wrote heartfelt gratitude notes in Chinese, sharing what they are thankful for in their own words.
Our cafeteria team prepared a festive Thanksgiving lunch buffet for all students and staff, featuring roasted chicken, prawns, a colorful selection of vegetables and fruits, and freshly baked muffins.
Early Years students and Grade 5 practiced Gratitude in a very meaningful way. Paired up in a buddy system, students wrote messages of Gratitude on paper leaves that hung from trees around our community. Together, they also experienced a Forest School adventure under Mrs. Clark’s expert guidance. An afternoon of connection, making Gratitude visible!
Middle School celebrated with its annual Thanksgiving luncheon, a warm potluck-style gathering hosted by our Parent Support Group, featuring homemade dishes that brought friends together.
The celebration concluded with a festive Thanksgiving dinner for our community, featuring a rich menu of seasonal favorites: turkey with gravy, pumpkin pie, a variety of sides, desserts and drinks.
From themed learning activities to Middle School’s potluck luncheon hosted by the Parent Support Group, and a grand Thanksgiving dinner, this November we celebrated gratitude and togetherness in ways that make our DAIS community truly special.
Thank you for being part of the DAIS family!
