A parent lost a girl’s coat in rose red color. It was put on a chair in the second row on the left facing the stage during the New Year Gala performance. Another parent left a white paper bag with some kids’ costumes and 4 Rainbow belts in the front row during the New Year Gala. If you found it, please turn it to the information desk at the H-room.
