Chinese ILEP Open House

On Friday January 17, 2020, the Chinese ILEP (International Languages - Elementary Program) group at St. Thomas More Secondary School held an Open House. The parents/guardians went to their children’s rooms and participated in various language and cultural activities. They then went into the cafeteria where they shared snacks and viewed an excellent slide presentation of their children participating in many cultural events throughout the year. Great fun was had by all.
