Mother's Day Celebration

Happy Staff • June 6, 2019

On Thursday, May 9th, we held our Mother's Day picnic on the Field-of-Green at Oasis 21

The students ate lunch with their mothers and fathers. Afterwards, they said "Mommy I love you!" and gave them handmade Mother's Day cards. Some students were a little bit shy, while other students had huge grins on their faces as they hugged their moms.

Hisaya International Preschool and Kindergarten families are very culturally diverse . We have families from over 13 different countries! Almost like a mini United Nations!

Our students are able to learn about different cultures and people through interacting with their classmates everyday at school. Learning and interacting with people of different cultures and background at an early age helps students grow up into adults with more understanding and acceptance towards people who are different from them.

Question Time:

Currently, families from 13 different countries attend our school.
Can you identify all 13 countries' of these flags?

Good luck!!
