BAID Celebrates Teachers' Day with Appreciation and Care
In September, the scent of osmanthus and the sound of students reading filled the campus. BAID celebrated Teachers' Day with a series of respectful, heartfelt activities for all its teachers. The celebrations focused on the purpose of education and the integrity of the teaching profession. The campus activities on September 10 and the cultural experience on September 12 expressed the school's appreciation for teachers through practical gestures.
Cards and Performances Express Students' Gratitude
By 7:20 a.m. on September 10, preparations were complete in the lobby on the first floor of Desheng Building. Card stands lined both sides of the entrance, displaying messages students had written in advance. The cards swayed gently in the morning sunlight as teachers arrived.
The cards expressed the students' sincere appreciation. Some carried the message "Thank you for your hard work." Others featured small stars folded from colored paper and tied to the sides of the stands, expressing gratitude for their teachers' guidance. Teachers stopped at the stands to find and collect the cards addressed to them.
As teachers paused to read their cards, students began singing and playing the piano in the lobby. Their performances gave the working day a special sense of occasion. The handwritten messages and music expressed students' respect for their teachers and provided a touching start to Teachers' Day.
Free Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic Supports Teachers' Health
At 1 p.m., the school held a free medical clinic for teachers. A team of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners provided care for common concerns such as neck and shoulder strain, along with discomfort caused by prolonged standing or desk work. Their services included pulse assessment and medical consultations, alongside tuina massage therapy and health advice. The clinic offered practical support for teachers' health and an opportunity to pause during a busy day to care for their bodies.
Happy Teachers' Day
Bi Sheng's Movable Type Printing: Sharing Cultural Traditions with Children
On Saturday afternoon, September 12, teachers and their children took part in Little Bi Sheng: Movable Type Printing. Planned by the Parent Committee with the school's full support, the activity offered a practical introduction to China's cultural heritage. Families worked directly with a traditional craft and learned how to pass it on to the next generation. The shared experience encouraged careful craftsmanship and patience while strengthening their confidence in Chinese culture.
Teachers demonstrate their commitment to education through the work they do conscientiously each day. During these celebrations, cards conveyed appreciation, movable type printing continued a cultural tradition, the clinic supported teachers' health, and music expressed gratitude for their dedication. These simple gestures reflected the school community's respect for teachers' professional contributions.
We thank the Parent Committee for its thoughtful support and the Student Council and performance group for their performances. We also thank every teacher for their continued dedication. We wish all our teachers success at work and good physical and mental health. May they continue working with students and parents to make campus life fulfilling and rewarding, and pursue their goals with confidence.
