3/22/2024 activity,This is the note from Ms. Christine VO:
Good morning Ms. Khu, I hope you are doing well. This is Christine Vo and I wanted to thank you and the Taiwanese Heritage Society for allowing my husband, Jeff Wu, to check out artifacts on Taiwan this year. The St. Laurence Catholic School Heritage Day was held on March 22, 2024 and had over 600 students visiting. We are grateful the school welcomes us to showcase the Taiwanese heritage. This year, my sister in the gray sweater and another parent in the red shirt (she is Taiwanese) helped with the table. We had the Thailand and Vietnam tables as our neighbors. Thank you so much!
