Filled with delighted giggles and excited screams,
another PTO event for the Dalat community came to great success. On November
22, many Dalat families, who accepted the exciting invitation to the PTO Family
Fun Day, gathered in the grassy area next to the outdoor basketball court.
After purchasing an entrance bracelet for only RM5,
children raced to try the unlimited carnival game stations of their choice.
From a soccer ball to rubber duckies, all the game stations involved a variety
of fun and unique equipment that drew the attention of the crowd. The guarantee
of receiving tokens—which were later exchanged with some quirky prizes—from
winning a game sparked their motivation and enthusiasm.
When feeling too tired and sweaty from the active
games, some kids crowded around the table on the side to get a charming face
painting, sticker tattoo, or nail art. The eyes of the children twinkled as
they waited patiently in a line to put some vibrant colors on their faces and
nails; the colorful decorations certainly brightened up their mood as well as
their looks.
As the event approached the end, people with hungry
stomachs sat around and enjoyed slices of pizza with family and friends. With
their loudest slurps, children cooled off and treated themselves with the all-time-favorite
dessert—ice cream.
Though the event was planned primarily for the
younger elementary students, what made the Family Fun Day successful was the
contributions of various groups of people in the Dalat community.
As well as the Dalat Parent-Teacher Organization, a
group of students in the From Kids For Kids Club gladly volunteered to dedicate
their Friday afternoon and help out in the special event. Jireh Ang (12), a
humble member of the From Kids For Kids Club, looked back at the event and stated
that “the Family Fun Day was tiring, but it was so worthwhile to see the kids
having fun.”
Another helper, Jordan Chang (12), remarked on the
event with a content smile on his face, “Serving the younger community was so
fulfilling, as we were able to see the positive impact that we had on them.”
The memories made in the Family Fun Day positively impacted
everyone who participated. The extraordinary day with much love and laughter
will be remembered with a big, bright smile on the faces of the Dalat family.
