2019 MIP Gala - February 23, 2019
Thank You!
Thank you to everyone who attended the 2019 MIP Gala. It was an extraordinary evening that raised funds for the Mandarin Immersion Program at CUSD and was further proof that we are surrounded by a wonderful community. We had a great turnout with 130 attendees, including all three principals of the MIP program school sites (Bergeson Elementary, Newhart Middle School and Capistrano Valley HS) and teachers representing K-7th grades.

Here is a closer look at the Story of MIP Video we showed at the gala that tells a compelling story about our program and its bright future. Enjoy!
