TAS PTA

Today’s Faculty Appreciation luncheon was such a beautiful reminder of how much heart our parent community puts into celebrating our teachers and staff. Every detail was so thoughtfully planned — from the delicious food to the beautiful setup — making our faculty feel truly appreciated and cared for. We even had Mother’s Day flowers for our parent volunteers, which was such a sweet touch. Grateful for everyone who helped make this event feel so warm, generous, and special. ✨

在台北美國學校，我們相信教育不只是課堂上的學習，
更是關於如何成為一個尊重他人、為自己行為負責的世界公民。

孩子在校園中每天的互動，形塑了他們的價值觀、同理心與判斷力。
一個真正健康的學習環境，來自於彼此的尊重、誠信與關懷。

本次月見會講座將聚焦於校園互動與孩子的情緒與社交發展，
探討如何引導孩子以尊重與同理面對差異，
在衝突中做出負責任的選擇，
並在支持與信任中成長為有影響力的個體。

透過家長、學校與社群的共同合作，
我們能為孩子建立一個安全、包容、並追求卓越的學習環境，
讓每一位學生都能被看見、被傾聽、被重視。

誠摯邀請您一同加入這場重要的對話。

⸻

At Taipei American School, we believe that education extends beyond academics.
It is also about learning how to respect others, take responsibility for one’s actions, and grow as a global citizen.

Daily interactions on campus play a critical role in shaping students’ values, empathy, and decision-making.
A healthy learning environment is built on respect, integrity, and compassion.

This month, COMG will focus on student interactions and social-emotional development,
exploring how we can guide children to navigate differences with empathy,
make responsible choices during challenging moments,
and grow within a community grounded in trust and support.

Through collaboration between parents, educators, and our school community,
we can foster a safe, inclusive, and excellence-driven environment
where every student feels seen, heard, and valued.

We warmly invite you to join us for this meaningful conversation.

Reading Between the Lines of Organization — Beyond Traditional Storage Solutions
✨ “Beyond Organization: Elevating Space Organization Beyond the Ordinary” ✨
The word “organization” has never been just about space. More often, it is a journey of inner clarity—
When we choose to be honest with ourselves and clarify what we truly need, our ideal living environment naturally begins to take shape.
For this month’s gathering, we are honored to invite
Taiwan’s leading expert in home organization,
Sasha Ho何安蒔 , Chairperson of the Art of Living Organization Association藝收納居家整理 理事長
,
to guide us beyond conventional storage methods and into a deeper understanding of organization—from lifestyle and mindset to intentional action.
Let us come together to—
Begin with motivation,
Flow with thoughtful planning,
Take action with purpose,
And sustain the change over time.
