As we are entering Week 4, I hope your children have found their favorite elective in the third hour. Briarcliff middle school informed us there will be scheduled activities this Saturday so we will postpone the fire drill, currently listed on school calendar on 10/3, to a later date.

It is with a heavy heart that I am relaying the news about the passing of our former teacher, Ms. Jiau-lan Weinstein, who departed peacefully in Taichung, Taiwan on Sunday, September 27. A memorial service is scheduled to be held in Tarrytown on October 11. Please contact me for exact time and location of the service.

Student Travel Journals

• I just posted an essay from our 6th grade student ​Megan Chin, 陳頌詩同學, with introduction from her proud father Mr. Calvin Chin.

• Please encourage your children to write about their experience in learning and speaking Chinese. Send the essays to me, long or short and I will post them on our web site to share with NWCS families. 

Online Tutoring Initiative

• I would like to invite up to 10 families to join a trial of a new online tutoring initiative introduced this year. I am hoping online tutoring will become a viable education tool to keep our students practicing speaking and listening ​Chinese ​during the week. For details, please see http://www.nwcsny.org/?p=1035

Order Your Lunch

• The Breakfast Club takes lunch orders from a local Chinese restaurant for your convenience. You get an entree, Wonton or Egg Drop soup, and a choice of can soda or egg roll. Please order at the school cafeteria by 10:00AM – pay CASH when ordering. Each order includes $0.50 delivery cost and $1.00 donation to the school. The menu is available online at http://www.nwcsny.org/?page_id=1010
