NWCS Fall 2018 Newsletter – Week 7

Dear NWCS families,

Dress up for Halloween this Saturday
We will be celebrating Halloween this Saturday. Everyone is welcome to wear a costume! I will be giving out treats to students, especially the ones who can say 萬聖節快樂 (Happy Halloween in Chinese) to me.

Go to Sleep, Little Creep Book Reading
A big thank you to our co-board chairperson, David Quinn, for his book reading event to raise funds for NWCS earlier this month. David’s clever new book for kids, Go to Sleep, Little Creep, is a warm, funny rhyming picture book that transports us to a make-believe Halloween Night World where Monster Parents struggle to cuddle and calm their little ghosts, zombies, creatures and creeps for a good night’s – well, actually, it’s a good day’s – sleep.

You can purchase David’s book on Amazon here. Please consider designating NWCS as your charitable organization of choice via AmazonSmile or shop on Amazon.com via www.nwcsny.org website. Thank you in advance for your support!

David Quinn

Best Regards,
Francine Fang 方敏
