Tzu Chi Great Love Preschool Philippines held its annual thanksgiving celebration on Dec. 13, 2024, with the theme “Winter Wonderland: A Gratitude Concert.”
The event featured live performances by the students, fun games and eco-friendly craft activities.
The preschool also organized a successful bake sale on Dec. 6, selling 1,668 cookies. Proceeds from the sale will benefit the charity programs of the Tzu Chi Foundation.
Tzu Chi Great Love Preschool directress Jane Sy expressed her gratitude for the continued support of parents and students, highlighting the importance of kindness and compassion during the holiday season.
“This year’s bake sale is a testament to our community’s spirit of giving,” she said.
As part of the event’s focus on sustainability, families created Christmas trees from recycled materials such as milk cartons, newspapers, and boxes. The crafts were displayed throughout the event, promoting environmental awareness.
The celebration also included a series of fun games, such as the “Bring Me” game, newspaper dance, and “Pass the Hula Hoop,” which entertained both students and parents.
Teacher Marian “Yani” Carpo, assistant teacher to the nursery class, thanked the volunteers, parents, and students for their hard work in making the event a success.
“It wouldn’t have been possible without their support,” she said.
