中文学校一周简讯 11/14

学校的安全是全体工作人员的第一要务。我再次提醒大家从食堂边的校门进入学校，不要使用其他校门。更不能故意卡住校门使之不能关闭以方便自己出入，或是打开锁住的校门让外边的人进来。

上个周末的故事会盛况空前，共有50多个节目把三个多小时的时间安排得满满的。感谢各位家长以及青年义工团员在会场的协助，让故事会顺利、准时的完成。在这里还有感谢每一位老师，是你们辛勤的培育，让孩子们不怯场，口齿流利，把一个个故事讲述的生动活泼。故事会获奖名单将于下个星期公布。

2015-2016年度奖学金申请11月22日截至。请将申请材料递交给张晓清副校长。这次奖学金评审委员会由张晓清副校长任主席，外加两名老师、两名家长会代表。评审结果会在期末总结大会上宣布。

周末见！

中文学校校长2014-2016

As I started to write the weekly update, I can’t help but think of what has happened in Paris on Friday,
which is totally unbelievable. Gapped by an ocean as wide as Atlantic, we can still feel the shocking wave. I am deeply sorrowed by the lives lost in this tragedy and prayers go to all the families.

I also want to bring safety and security of the school to your attention. The school staff team has been trying best to maintain a safe environment for our kids. In the meantime, it is everyone’s responsibility to follow the school rules. No entrance to school facility other than the cafeteria door should be observed.

Last weekend we did not have school. Instead, many of us gathered at CCC for the annual story telling event. Being there or not, you can always review the pictures uploaded on CCC gallery  at https://www.flickr.com/photos/ccc_albany/albums/72157660422088169. We had more than fifty programs packed in three and half hours. I hope your kids enjoyed the time on “stage” and liked the award gifts. We doubled the award budget so the laughter got to double too. Award list will be announced next week.

Another reminder to the senior students that the deadline for scholarship application is approaching soon. Please submit your application to Vice Principal Xiaoqing Zhang no later than Nov. 15th. Make sure you go through the online scholarship application policy to include all the necessary material to avoid delay. The scholarship committee will be headed by VP Xiaoqing Zhang and consists of two teachers and two PTA members.

See you on Sunday.
