China\u2019s Mid-Autumn Festival, a traditional harvest festival, is typically a time for food offerings and family reunions. But what if your family can\u2019t be with you?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This is often the case with a growing elderly population, so students from our SMS Pinghu campus<\/a> hoped to change that by bringing food, gifts, and their own talent for performing, to a local senior living home. For one afternoon, teachers and students gathered together with seniors, and became like family.\u00a0After greetings, introductions, and refreshments, the first group took to the stage with a cool street dance, quite different from that of their audience\u2019s generation, that gave everyone a taste of current music and fashion trends.<\/p>\n

A 10th<\/sup> grade girls chorus joined their teacher to create one captivating and beautiful voice while our saxophone player, Jack Li, won constant applause from the audience.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Sandy He, a professional folk dancer, brought her graceful moves and traditional dress to the stage.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The afternoon ended with one final collaborative show: making their own traditional dumplings for lunch! Eating together, sharing news, and listening to one another\u2019s stories created true harmony and community that day.<\/p>\n

While happy hours spent always seem to end fast, our story of community support does not. Stay tuned for more stories of KL School<\/a> campus community service outings and extracurricular activities aimed at encouraging students to follow their passions and foster their true identities.<\/p>\n
