In the joyful spirit of the first days of the Lunar New Year, TNIS officially welcomed the Year of Bính Ngọ 2026 with a warm and energetic Kick Off celebration.
The Principal and School Leadership Team personally handed out lucky red envelopes to students and staff, sending heartfelt wishes of prosperity, peace, and success for the year ahead. A special highlight was the delightful musical performance by the Principals themselves, bringing surprise, laughter, and a wonderful sense of unity to the entire community.
For the Bilingual Elementary School, the traditional “First Writing of the Year” activity was a meaningful moment. Students confidently shared stories about their memorable Tết holidays — from family trips and reunions with grandparents to new and exciting experiences. Through their writing, they expressed heartfelt wishes for the new year: to study harder, become braver, achieve more, and spread positivity wherever they go.
The Lunar New Year Kick Off was not only a ceremonial beginning, but also a powerful reminder of readiness, proactiveness, and hope for the journey ahead.
