On Saturday, February 21, 2015, DragonSprouts will hold its 2nd Annual Chinese New Year Festival at Broadway Elementary, our largest community fundraiser. To kick off the Year of the Sheep, our festival will celebrate Chinese arts and culture with traditional Lion Dances, martial arts performances, Chinese calligraphy, food trucks, carnival booth games, music, and arts and crafts. We are anticipating over 1,000 attendees, who are local to Venice and the Westside or commute from all around Los Angeles County—stretching as far as Northridge, Miracle Mile, and San Pedro. 

Now in its fifth year, this MI Program is one of the most sought-after elementary programs in Los Angeles, and a shining example of how strong leadership, educational innovation, and high parent engagement are drawing middle-class families back to the public education system. The mission of our world-class dual-language program is to foster fluency in Mandarin and English while cultivating a new generation of students to be creative problem-solvers, clear communicators, and productive global citizens who value cultural diversity. 

In order to build upon our strong foundation of academic achievement, our community must work every year to bridge the budgetary gap between what our school receives in funding and what our educators need to continue delivering high-quality instruction to our students. 

We hope you will consider becoming a sponsor for our Chinese New Year Festival. As a sponsor, your company will be promoted to our ever-expanding network of families and friends. We currently have 380 students, 750 parents, and a database of over 200 prospective families—a sizeable body of potential customers for your business. We have many sponsorship levels and hope your connection with our community will begin now and have a lasting relationship.
