Curtis School

This week, we celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as Chuseok in Korea, and the Moon Festival in other parts of Asia. Families gather to give thanks for the harvest, share delicious food, and admire the beauty of the full moon.

During our monthly Cultural Celebrations, families and students enjoyed crafting faux mooncakes with Play-Doh and sampling treats like rice cakes. A big thank you to all the amazing Curtis families for sharing their traditions and knowledge with our community!

May this time fill your household with love and peace as we celebrate the fall harvest!
