On Friday, February 3, 2012, 29 students (5^th/6^thgrade) and 5 teachers from Tsinghua University Primary School, China visited Courreges School for a special full day visit.  They began their day performing for our school during two morning assemblies.  The performances ranged from bamboo flute and ancient Chinese instruments, to cultural art demonstrations and dancing. Following the assemblies, the students visited the 4^th/5^thgrade classrooms to see what it was like to attend an American school.  Tsinghua also enjoyed a typical American lunch along with the Courreges students.  Finally, the groups concluded their day visiting two K-3 classrooms for a couple of brief activities with the lower primary students.

Thank you Tsinghua University Primary School for visiting Courreges Elementary!
