FMS will hold its 9th Annual Gala on Saturday, March 2, 2024 at the H. L. Peninsula Restaurant in South San Francisco, California. We support the Mandarin Immersion programs at College Park Elementary School and Bayside Academy in the San Mateo-Foster City School District by raising critical funds for:

Teaching assistants to support individualized learning
After school mandarin support
Professional development for Mandarin teachers
Classroom materials and computer applications
Participation in cultural events

For the first time since 2019, we are bringing back our much-anticipated Gala. This year, we embrace the enchanting theme of Lunar New Year. This event is more than just a celebration; it's an opportunity for you, our valued parents, to connect, share experiences, and strengthen our community bonds. Indulge in a grand Chinese banquet dinner, enjoy lion dancing and the return of our live auctions. Be a part of this tradition – whether by attending, donating auction items, or simply spreading the word.

The success of our Gala hinges on the collective effort of our amazing community. We invite you to contribute auction items. Past auctions have featured items like a weekend getaway to a Tahoe cabin, an all-inclusive trip to Disneyland, and an exclusive private wine tasting class for 20. Sponsorship opportunities are also available. Contact us at fmsgala2024@gmail.com to donate or sponsor.
