Chinese Program Students Recognized at CLASS National Chinese Talent Contest

In a splendid display of creativity and skill, students from across the nation showcased their talents in the first-ever CLASS (Chinese Language Association of Secondary-Elementary Schools) National Chinese Talent Contest. This unique event, aimed at K-12 students, offered a platform for participants to highlight their abilities across six diverse categories: singing, dancing, instrumental music, arts, sports, and language. Some LS, MS, and US Chinese students participated in the contest which not only spotlighted the impressive talents within our Chinese program but also celebrated the hard work and dedication of our students and their teachers. 

We extend our heartfelt congratulations to all participants, with special recognition to the honorable mentions and the winners of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place awards. Their achievements exemplify the excellence and potential within our Chinese program, and we are incredibly proud of their accomplishments.
