What did the PTA do in the past two weeks?
PTA Meeting in May

On May 23, the PTA held an important, memorable, and emotional meeting at the beautiful house of Wei Ding, our PTA Co-President. Light refreshments were provided, such as plates of sushi, fruit platters, and more. As a student volunteer for the PTA, I had the privilege of being at the table where crucial questions were addressed. We discussed how we could support the Harry Palooza, fill open positions for next year, set the calendar for next year, and plan the budget. 

This wasn't just an extremely productive gathering, but also a very emotional one, as we had to bid farewell to some of our most passionate PTA members. Beautiful flowers were given to our graduating members, and everyone had a wonderful time discussing how each flower represented its respective recipient.
