Story telling services in Alpine Elementary

Su Ma Ma Chinese club was formed in the Summer of 2013. We began with story time at a home club and continued by serving at Chinese Immersion schools in the Fall of 2013. We were blessed with many friendships that brought together teachers in America, Taiwan and China. We had many wonderful stories to tell during all the service hours.

Goals

  • To build a library that serves many Chinese Immersion programs
  • To be the bridge for cultural exchange between America and Asia.
  • To provide a platform for students in the Chinese Immersion program and people who are interested in learning Chinese culture to learn and practice Chinese, to bridge the culture, and to serve the community. Chinese club serves the club members and schools in Utah.
