Living Heritage: Preserving Traditions, Supporting Families at Vien An Temple

What does it mean to be a "bridge" for your neighbors? To kick off our celebration of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Heritage Month, we invite you to watch the first episode of our new series, Living Heritage.

Board of Education Member Julie Yang visits Vien An Temple to explore how the Vietnamese community preserves its rich history right here in Montgomery County. From weekend language classes to providing a "24/7" support system for families in need, discover how this local landmark fosters a culture of compassion, mindfulness, and mutual respect. It’s a beautiful look at how these traditions help our students and families stay grounded in the present moment.
