On this day, Kuei Shan celebrated the birth of this beautiful nation with a fun and exciting ceremony at the main campus! In preparation for National Day this year, students wrote poems in Chinese class that they put on their little flags. A few outstanding poems were chosen to be read aloud by Dr. Peter Tsai during the celebration.

兵士壯人忠面軍
旗揮殉戰留青行

秋葉飄 青天映
溪落水花飛濺遙
嬋娟夜裡輝芒瑩
-Bella Cheng, 8B
Each grade sent a representative to pray for the nation, and it was heartwarming to see their courage and sincerity.
