🐾 Help Us Design MIOT's Mascot Character!
🎉 MIOT is turning 10! 🎂
To celebrate this special milestone, we are inviting our school community to help design a mascot for MIOT.
The design can be anything creative, such as:
🐻 A warm and friendly animal character
🎐 A fun and original cartoon figure
🎋 A design inspired by Chinese language or culture
✨ A cheerful school companion that represents MIOT's warmth, energy, and spirit
👥 Who can participate?
All MIOT students are welcome to create their own designs, and families are encouraged to work on a design together.
🎨 Format
Hand-drawn or digital artwork are both welcome.
🎁 Will there be a small prize?
Yes! The selected design will receive a small commemorative gift from the school as a token of appreciation and encouragement.
🌷 What will the mascot be used for?
We hope to turn the mascot into a physical figure in the future and feature it at school events, on posters, and on keepsakes. We also hope it can become a small but meaningful symbol of MIOT tradition, passed from one principal to the next during future leadership transitions, as it continues to witness the school's growth.
Maybe the little companion that will represent MIOT for the next ten years will come from your creativity!
Thank you, as always, for your understanding, support and cooperation. Millburn Institute of Talent 亲爱的家长们，大家好！ 本周日（5 月 3 日），中文学校照常上课。 📝 写字作文比赛｜本周收集作品
