Lifting the Kickstand to Kickstart Our “Bike to the Future” Campaign

Despite the interruptions and having to distance-learn, students who were attending 6th grade prior to the pandemic will still be graduating to middle school. With that news, we are excited to continue our long-standing tradition of providing our graduates with a bicycle, a uniform, and school supplies to help them transition to their new school! 

We have only just begun to raise funds for this year’s “Bike to the Future” campaign, and we are already thanking some generous donors! Thank you for kickstarting the donations, Carl Wahlin and Luis Braga. And a special shout-out to Wei Ling Tan, who has vigorously supported and fundraised for our 6th-grade graduates for many years.  

Are you ready to help our students Bike to the Future?

This year we have over 110 graduating 6th graders—each needing a new middle school uniform, school supplies, and a new bicycle to travel to the middle school some distance away. Visit our website to donate and you can leave a note to designate the donation to the “Bike to the Future” campaign.

 

Teachers Never Stop Learning

Since we were unable to teach our normal computer classes during the pandemic, a large number of our teachers and staff used the opportunity to improve their computer skills by learning Microsoft Office 365 in the school’s computer lab. Thanks to our IT teacher, Chea Odom, for assisting in the project.

The School Bells are Ringing Again

It has been a strange year for everyone, but it has been especially hard on school age children around the world. 

At Spitler School and Stephen Mazujian Middle School we are glad that all of our students are now able to attend some classes in person. However, in an effort to adhere to social distancing, class size is limited to one-third capacity. That means that each student attends classes in person only two of the normal six days.  Additionally, checking temperatures, wearing masks, and hand sanitation are now a standard practice. 

It is a difficult time to be a student and a teacher, but we believe that students are continuing to learn, even in this trying environment.
