ATASC 23 Nisan Milli Egemenlik ve Cocuk Bayraminizi Kutlar, hepinize daha nice beraber kutlayacagimiz 23 Nisanlar diler. | ATASC celebrates 23 Nisan National Sovereignity and Children’s Day and wishes many more 23 Nisan celebrations together.
Mustafa Kemal Ataturk believed that the future of the Republic of Turkey laid with the children and the youth. In his own words: “Little women, little men! Each one of you is a star, a ray of light, a rose of the future! It is you who will bathe the country in light! Never lose sight in your striving of how important and valuable you are. We are expecting great things of you.”
“Küçük hanımlar, küçük beyler! Sizler hepiniz geleceğin bir gülü, yıldızı ve ikbal ışığısınız. Memleketi asıl ışığa boğacak olan sizsiniz. Kendinizin ne kadar önemli, değerli olduğunuzu düşünerek ona göre çalışınız. Sizlerden çok şey bekliyoruz.”
Please read this to your children to let them know that they are so highly valued by our nation and our leader. ATASC Community had a wonderful 23 Nisan celebration yesterday in Long Beach. The children had lots of fun. Pictures from this event will be posted soon.

23 Nisan is coming!!! . It is the date for first Turkish Assembly and the first step in the Turkish democracy and republic. Moreover it was dedicated by Ataturk to our children – a first in the world. We all have fond memories of Children’s Day from our younger days. Now we are trying to teach our children our history, culture and importance of this day through ATASC schools and ATASC Annual Children’s Day Festival.
Remember this is not only for us, but for our next generation. Please be a part of the activities. Pleas come to the Children’s Day Festival in Long Beach, volunteer if you can, donate, sponsor, come to the fundraiser… We as a community can only be successful if we all do and give what we can. Please show your full support for this worthwhile cause and make it a success.
