Welcome the HQ – Parents and Friends Association (PAFA) Bulletin page! We will be filling this space with news and resources for Hongqiao parents throughout the coming weeks. Check back frequently. Our school has grown to over 1200 students in 12 years. The Parent and Friends Association (PAFA) help coordinate activities and projects to unite our diversity and foster a cohesive community. We depend on parent participation to further PAFA events, provide assitance to teachers and to school programs. Through our parent volunteers we can strengthen our community.
