Wednesday evening was the grade 12 class’ matric ball, which is equivalent to the prom and/or graduation in the U.S. Erika was the keynote speaker for the night and encouraged the students to persevere and finish school so they could “leave a legacy”. The rest of the team members were the waiters/waitresses for the night and served the students and faculty of the SOH. Pictured is the grade 12 graduating class with the principal, Laura Collura, and Erika. They are the participants in the interACT mentoring program this year and who we are raising funds for to bring them to NYC in December!

ACT is proud to announce Act 1 of 3 in our benefit Concert Series! The performance will showcase original compositions by world renowned artist, Judy Kang and feature Nouveau Folk Singer, Joanlie Shiah. The action is happening this Wednesday, August 12th from 7-9PM at the Bowery Wine Company.

The show will feature original compositions written by Judy Kang, blending her classical background and passion for improvisation with the eclectic/experimental genre. This will be a collaborative effort with cellist Rubin Kodheli and drummer Wayan Zooe as they bring a unique blend of lyricism over complex beats and harmonies. Joanlie Shiah will be the opening act.

Judy has had the privilege and honor to perform for former US President Bill Clinton and Korean president Noh Moo Hyun.
