Friends of Mandarin Scholars (FMS)
FMS Mission is to provide a quality Mandarin education for our students and to foster a sense of community at our schools.
FMS Funds Additional Resources for College Park and Bayside Academy Middle School including:
- Mandarin Instructional Aides (bulk of funds!)
- Summer Kinder Kick Start Program at College Park
- Professional Development for Mandarin Educators
- Mandarin-Specific Classroom Materials
- Cultural Celebrations
- Sponsorship of Community Building Events
A big part of this is mandarin support, which facilitates small in-class group learnings, before & afterschool homework help, and the Kinder Kick Start Program.
