STEPS TURNS 8!

The celebration of the 8th Foundation Day of STEPS Special Center held at Casa Grande began with smiles and friendly faces, setting a cheerful tone for the rest of the activities. The venue was decorated with colorful balloons, streamers, flaglets, banners and handmade crafts, creating a festive atmosphere. New families who had just joined our growing community and old families who have become pillars of the school came together during one of the highlights of the day – the team games! The first game, Ball Relay, was a true example of harmony amidst diversity as children of all ages played as a team. Excitement, laughter, and a little bit of friendly competition was surely one way to make the event livelier. The children were not the only ones in the spotlight as the parents and guardians played a game of their very own – Pass the Hula Hoop. The supportive parents, siblings, and caregivers playfully took on the challenge of passing a hula hoop through a chain of people without breaking contact. Our little kids were delighted to see their parents play and eventually win! These activities not only brought everyone closer but also showcased the diverse talents and skills within the school.

When the games were finished, everyone enjoyed a delicious meal prepared by the school. Everyone gathered to enjoy the food and spend time with friends and family. After they had eaten, the children all had a blast in the wide open play area of Casa Grande that boasted climbing wall, an underground rope tunnel, a jungle gym set, a swing, and even a quiet area with stuffed animals and books for a calm corner to sit in after the children used up all their energy running around and playing together. The hearty meal, the colorful and playful ambience of Casa Grande, and the company of one another made our event one for the books.

We would also like to express our heartfelt gratitude to Mr. Nghiem Hoang and the Casa Grande team for their exceptional efforts. Their passion, creativity, and collaborative spirit have been important in the success of our event. Outstanding service, friendly and accommodating staff, and a child friendly environment especially for children with special needs all at Casa Grande!

STEPS 8th Foundation Day was more than just a celebration; it was a testament to the power of harmony and diversity. By coming together and celebrating our unique talents, backgrounds, and perspectives, we created a stronger and more inclusive community. May this serve as a reminder that unity in diversity is not just a goal but a reality that we can achieve every day.
