Your generosity makes it all possible
Thank you for your support! Our goal is to provide classroom enhancements not covered by district funds, award teacher stipends, organize cultural events for our community and eventually plan an exchange program. We need your help. Please consider making a tax-deductible* contribution.
All funds are used to ensure the legacy of the Chinese Immersion program and support its classrooms.
