Our Pint-Sized Ambassadors Perform at the Language Fair 2013
Good things really do come in small packages! For all those in our TIA family who attended the 2013 Southern Arizona Language Fair a few weeks ago, that truth came alive as they watched six of our precious Midvale girls dancing and singing in the performance category of the competition. Our six young ladies, dressed in their beautifully hand-sewn Chinese costumes, sparkled like little gemstones as they danced across the stage. Even though TIA was one of the smallest of the 25-30 schools participating in the event, we were strongly represented by our pint-sized ambassadors and won second place out of over two hundred other participants!Language Fair is an Annual Event
This Language Fair is an annual event held at the Confucious Institute of the University of Arizona (CIUA). Participants representing schools from all over southern Arizona can compete in any of four categories: Poetry, Drama, Instrumental and Performance. One school alone brought 200 students! Yet our six little girls shone as they sang a classical Mandarin Chinese song while performing a dance choreographed by their TIA Chinese instructor, Mrs. Sun. Their beautiful gem-tone costumes were hand-sewn by the grandmother of one of the girls.TIA Families Show Support
Many TIA Midvale families attended the five-and-a-half hour program, even some who did not have a child participating. As is common in our TIA family, they came to show their support and school spirit. Also in attendance were Mrs. Sun, and Midvale Principal, Mrs. Valerie Enriquez. Mrs. Enriquez was the only principal of all of the 25-30 participating schools to be present at the language fair with her students. The girls got to meet State Superintendent John Huppenthal as he presented them with their beautiful trophy.Congratulations to our award winning TIA ambassadors from Midvale
