PSO END-OF-YEAR BRUNCH FOR PARENTS

What a way to celebrate the year with our Concordia parents! A

huge THANK YOU to Steve and Amy Winkelman for opening up

their home to other parents and helping us to celebrate both

the end of the year and the Christmas season.

The Concordia Parent Support Organization (PSO) is a great

way to get involved in the Concordia community. If you are

a Concordia parent, you are automatically a part of the PSO.

Anyone can participate and all parents are members.

CHRISTMAS JOY CONCERTSELEMENTARY & UPPER SCHOOL MUSIC

It is no secret that the Concordia Music program stands in a class of its own when

compared to other programs in Hanoi so it is always a very special occassion to

witness one of the two main concerts of the year, one at Christmas and one at the

end of year. Concordia students did a stellar job of performing in the form of choirs,

music ensembles, and even soloist acts.

The Concordia music program is led by Ms. Martha Seibel for elementary and Mrs.

Nancy Durance in the Upper School. Well done to both teachers for inspiring and

leading our students through the magical world of music.

CONCORDIA IN THE COMMUNITY

Concordia students, parents, and faculty are always out and about in the Hanoi community so we would like to take a moment and share some of our favorite bragging moments of their achievements.Top photo: Concordia Grade 3 student, Huong, winning 1st place in the Vietnam Figure Skating Competition 2015; Right: Five Concordia faculty and Concordia parent performed for the Italian Embassy during their Christmas celebration as part of the Hanoi International Church Choir; Bottom: Concordia Parents, Faculty, and one student show their running skills in the Song Hong annual 5k, 10k, and 21k races.

5TH US EMBASSY BLOOD DRIVEConcordia families are invited to donate blood this month. This blood drive will be conducted with US standards for safety and cleanliness. There is no danger of contracting illness from donating blood. The goal is to collect 200 units of blood, as the Blood Bank typically experiences a shortage of blood and blood products before and after the TET Holiday due to the increasing number of traffic accidents.
