中文学校每周简讯 - 12月19日

中文学校的各位家长、老师，你们好，

这个学期先于2014年划上了一个句号。期末演出虽受场地限制，但小演员们个个精神抖擞，在家长们的眼皮底下露了一手。各个节目可以看出来都是精心准备排演过的（除了最后校方友情演出的压轴戏），中间时不时穿插主持人的即兴表演，希望大家都看得兴趣盎然。特别要感谢孙懿、范树海两位家长全程负责表演伴奏的播放，还有我们的摄影师，肖玲和方彪，摄下了很多值得回忆的镜头。我已经看到方彪把他的得意之作贴到微信上了。大家不妨作一作他的微粉，可以欣赏到首府地区的各种湖光山色，或是寻常角落、不为人注意的精彩瞬间。

倘若在学校丢失个人物品，请与孙旭峰副校长（xufeng.sun@gmail.com）联系。

再次提醒大家青少年义工团策划于12月23日在Shaker Pointe（离中文学校非常近）举行一次圣诞慰老音乐会。具体时间地点如下：
活动内容：Senior Concert, Christmas theme
时间: 12月23日晚7点
地点: Shaker Pointe, One Bell Tower Drive, Watervliet, NY 12189

春学期将于2015年1月4日开始。大家可别错过。在这两个星期的寒假里，希望家长们能陪孩子多读一些中文书籍。

祝大家圣诞快乐，新年好上加好。

Dear Chinese School Families,

This semester concluded with at least a feast of Chinese food as I walked around the café during the lunch gathering time on the last day of school. What came to my mind at that moment was that maybe next year the parents can host a thank-you lunch for the school staff, in place of a pizza lunch. The student performance was just as successful as that of previous years, in spite of the space constraints. I hope you enjoyed the show being closer the audience. I also want to thank all the parents and youth team members who have help decorate the floor and clean the room afterwards. A special thanks to Yi Sun and Shuhai Fan who oversaw the audio system during the entire performance. Our photographers, Ling Xiao and Biao Fang, captured a lot of inspirational moments during the show that can be viewed on the following link soon (https://www.flickr.com/photos/ccc_albany/sets/). Thanks to our anchors from ninth and tenth grades. Their rehearsal was disrupted by the changes of programs but
 they handled it well. I was very proud of them being able to adjust quickly and figure out a solution to unexpected problems.

The spring semester will start on Jan. 4th, the first Sunday of 2015. We have two weeks of winter break, which is a perfect opportunity to spend more time with your family. For these of you who like to read, my suggestion is to read an interesting Chinese story with your kids every day.

If you have lost any personal items in school, please contact Vice Principal Xufeng Sun (xufeng.sun@gmail.com).

I also want to remind you of the youth team volunteer activity, which is scheduled on Dec. 23rd 7PM at Shaker Pointe. It is a senior concert to be conducted and performed by our volunteers. The place is just a few minutes away from Chinese School. Please sign up and bring your music and love to share with the senior residents.
What: Senior Concert, Christmas theme
When: Dec. 23rd 7PM
Where: Shaker Pointe, One Bell Tower Drive, Watervliet, NY 12189

Lastly, I want to say Thank each one of you for your continuous support this year. Wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
