We enjoyed attending Chin National Day from 12:00-4:00 p.m. at the Chin Evangelical Baptist Church this year! There were fashion shows, traditional dances, voice performances, and a variety of foods to try. It was fun to celebrate this special day with our students from Burma, as well as with students from other cultures who came to show their support!

​​We had our first-ever movie night at the learning center on Friday, November 22nd! This event was open to our current students, as well as others in grades 6-12. We watched one of Miss Gaisser's all-time favorite movies: The Ultimate Gift. This film really challenged us to think about money and gifts in a whole new way. We look forward to offering more movie nights in the future!

On July 12, we took a field trip to visit Butler University! Our students toured classrooms, dining halls, athletic facilities, and the beautiful grounds, seeing where college students live and learn. They also met one of Miss Gaisser's former professors, Dr. Brooke Kandel-Cisco, who gave them a tour of Butler's South Campus and took time to answer their questions about college. They even visited the Butler Bookstore to shop for a T-shirt! What a fun and exciting experience for these students as they plan for the future!
