MIP Welcome Social 2019
We had our annual MIP Welcome Social Event 2019 on August 30th! We were so glad to see returning MIP families and welcome new families in our program. We also had a chance to see the special performance by our very own students who participated in the Peking Opera this past summer. They were so adorable.

MIP 5th Grade Gift to Bergeson
The 2018-2019 MIP 5th grade class has gifted two Buddy Benches and a mural to Bergeson! Over the past 6 years they have saved enough money to purchase the mural and benches.
The mural is designed by Paula Loh and painted by Laurel Abitbol, Astrid Sidarta, and Polly Cheng with stencil help from Phoebe Karr. Each student has placed their handprint and will have their name written on it.
The students’ wish is that the buddy benches will be a symbol of friendship and unity for the entire Bergeson community. The students wanted to give something back to Bergeson that will help bridge differences and bring the student body together in a positive way.

MIP Middle School Trip to Bowers Museum
The 2018-2019 MIP middle schoolers at Newhart took a field trip to the Bowers Museum on 5/31. They got a private tour of the Ancient China exhibit, which had various artifacts from different periods within Chinese history. This year's tour was given in English, but we are told that the museum will be hiring Mandarin-speaking docents in the near future! A big thank-you to Mrs. Endow for arranging the field trip, and to all the families who donated to the Friends of MIP annual fund!
