I am delighted to share the success of our Elementary School Playground Dedication Ceremony, which took place on Wednesday, 22 May. The event was a heartwarming celebration of community spirit and a renewed commitment to the importance of play in learning.
The beautiful new play structure, a project many years in the making, was officially commemorated with the unveiling of a dedication plaque by our esteemed PTA President, Ms. Jane Lam, in front of students, parents, and special guests.
Our Master of Ceremonies, Dr. Baumgartner, spoke passionately about how vital creative and energetic play is to the development and learning of our young students. He expressed the collective, deep gratitude of the school to the community members whose generosity made this dream a reality.
This project would not have been possible without the incredible support of our community:
- The Parent-Teacher Association (PTA): We extend our immense thanks to our current and past PTA Presidents for their dedication and generous contributions totaling HK$300,000.00 over several years.
- An Alumnus Gift: A special thank you goes to a member of our extended Eagle family, alumnus Eric Xiao Feng Wen, Class of 2014, for his generous donation of HK$200,000.00 towards the new structure.
Following the ceremony, attendees enjoyed celebratory cake, and the PTA moved on to its regularly-scheduled General Meeting.
The new playground is already a vibrant hub of activity, serving as a reminder of what we can achieve when we work together to support the education and well-being of our students. Thank you to everyone who contributed and attended!
My best,
Anita Simpson
Head of School
