On September 15, students at the International School of Nanshan Shenzhen celebrated International Dot Day, a global event that encourages students to be risk-takers, open-minded learners, and reflective artists. The day highlights the importance of trying new things, even when it feels uncertain.

Looking for a fun, healthy and active way to kick off the school year and celebrate Dot Day? Try a StoryWalk with the Dot! It is the perfect way to start the year, enjoying a The Dot outside, in nature. Not only will your students and school enjoy it, but the families and community members will too. 

For us, Dot Day is more than just a celebration. It’s a global movement that reminds us all that even the smallest mark, a single dot, can spark innovation, confidence, and joy. 🌍🎨💫

When our Co-CEO Hy recently came across The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds, it sparked something that resonated not just with him, but across our entire company. The book’s message is simple: make a mark and see where it takes you. But behind that simplicity is a powerful truth about creativity, courage, and the ripple effect of encouragement.
