CAIS was honored to welcome @geneluenyang Gene Luen Yang, an acclaimed American cartoonist, to our forever home on the 19th Ave campus last Friday! Not only did he share his powerful life experiences, showing our students how resilience and creativity can lead to success, but he also introduced the concept of coding in a fun and accessible way. He even invited our students to play games, creating a hands-on learning experience. After hearing his story, many students felt inspired to pursue their own dreams, motivated by Gene’s journey of combining art and technology. It was an unforgettable day filled with inspiration, creativity, and exploration!

“My name is 彭芝瑜, and my American name is Vivian Dahlstrom (Peng). I am excited to join Chinese American International School (CAIS) as a Lead Preschool Teacher. With a background in early childhood education and a passion for nurturing young minds, I am eager to contribute to this vibrant and diverse community. I believe in creating a nurturing environment where children feel safe, valued, and inspired to explore their world. Outside the classroom, I am an avid traveler and nature enthusiast. Photography is another passion of mine, particularly capturing the beauty of nature. I am especially excited to join CAIS because of its commitment to bilingual education and cultural immersion. Together, we can inspire a love for learning and lay the foundation for lifelong success.”

On a hot day, our preschool teacher found the perfect way to help students cool down by bringing out the water play! Our students had a blast splashing around and staying refreshed while beating the heat.☀️🕶️💦
