Place of Grace Donations

For the past three years our students and teachers have worked together to take action in the local community. Wells Bang Na has developed a connection with Place of Grace, a foundation that works to improve the lives of children in the Maha Thai slum community. For one month, students and families brought presents and food donations to the school. We aimed to collect 100 gifts in total. By the end of the gift and donation period, over 160 gifts had been given! Additionally, the community donated enough food to fill the food pantry for months. The students of Wells Bang Na were extremely proud to know they made a difference for others.

Frost Fest Show

The 扣扣传媒 students and parents were very excited on Wednesday, December 14th, as the Bangna campus performed the Frosty Fest 2022 show. The students danced with enthusiasm and were risk-takers. Some classes danced to Christmas songs while our grade 3 & 4 students performed short skits. Having parents on campus with us this month was a treat. The students might have been a little nervous, but they do love to share their talents and hard work with their friends and families!

Frosty Fair

On Friday, December 16th, Wells International Bangna School held a fun fair! The students had a great time playing games and making festive crafts. There were activities like the crazy dress-up game, minute-to-win-it games, cookie tower, and even picking candy canes up with string. The students decorated cookies, made Christmas decorations and even made Christmas cards at different booths. The students replenished their energy with popcorn, candyfloss pancakes, and even Christmas tree brownies and snacks offered by the catering company, Foodhouse. The parents were equally involved in this day by contributing their time by working at the PTO booth, and our Santa Clause was cool with his sunglasses.

Student Reflections Video聽

The students of our school love to share their ideas, experiences and thoughts with others. In this video, you can hear a little bit more about their views on the meaning of Christmas. We hope they continue to think about the greater meaning of Christmas and all the ways they can share and care for others.

Families from the school donated stationary gifts that could be distributed to children at their annual Christmas party. Most of the gifts were donated by families from the school community. Some teachers and other staff members contributed gifts, also. By the end of the gift drive, more than 200 gifts had been collected!

Wells Bang Na community also focused on collecting donations of dry food items for Place of Grace鈥檚 food bank. 鈥淔ood is something we should always share and I’m so happy we can give to these families鈥� said Ms. Nan. “It made me feel sad to know some kids don’t always have food. I am glad that we could help them out. We should do this again”, though Jason from Grade 4.

On December 16th, representatives of Wells Bang Na school delivered gifts and food donations to the Place of Grace Foundation. 鈥淚t was wonderful to see an organization that brings the community together and brings joy to children,鈥� mentioned Ms. Ellie, Grade 2 Teacher.

Annie, from Grade 5 reflected on the project and said 鈥淚t feels good to give to people, especially if you don鈥檛 know them鈥�.聽

In the future there will be more opportunities for Wells students and families to come together in support of this community. Mr. Paul, the Chinese teacher said 鈥淲hen the time is right, we hope to see the kids and spend time with them. We are excited to do more activities with the children!鈥�.聽

扣扣传媒 Bang Na campus would like to thank our whole community for contributing to this cause! We were able to go above and beyond our goal of 130 gifts.
