New York Life Foundation’s Volunteers for Good – Individual Grant to Chairman Emeritus Benson Louie
For a third year in the row, our Chairman Emeritus Benson Louie applied and is recognized with a $1000 volunteer service grant by New York Life. This grant program encourages and supports the volunteer involvement of New York Life employees, agents and retirees with community-based nonprofit organizations. The grant will help our school to pay for equipments, award trophies and teacher training. If you are aware of other community service grants sponsored by your companies, please help us apply for them. 
 
WACA award to 2015 graduate Kevin Chang
I am proud to announce our 2015 graduate Mr. Kevin Chang, currently a senior at Byram Hills High School, is recognized as the 1st place winner of this year’s Outstanding Student Leadership and Community Service Award by Westchester Association of Chinese Americans (WACA). Since 2009, the award has been given to high school seniors who demonstrate excellent academic achievements, rich extracurricular activities, and outstanding community service. Our congratulations to Mr. Kevin Chang and his proud parents Mr. and Mrs. Rong Chang!!
 
Saturday parking
Our host school has a football game scheduled at 10 am and expects a lot of visitors. We are asked to leave the usual parking lot open so the visitors have easier access to the field. Instead, we can park on the side or the back of the building. Please use the rear door of the Middle School to enter the building. 
 
Fire drill was a success
Thank you all for your help to make last week’s fire drill orderly and smooth. Our registrar, Mr. Tony Wu timed and reported the full evacuation was complete in less than three and a half minutes. After the drill, our counselor Mr. Kenny Soohoo could not stop praising our teachers to keep their classes together during the evacuation. Thank you, teachers!!
 
Order Your lunch
Please buy snacks and drinks at The Breakfast Club.  A part of every purchase goes toward fundraising for the school.  The Breakfast Club also takes lunch orders from a local Chinese restaurant for your convenience. You get an entree plus Wonton/Egg Drop soup, 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 athttp://www.nwcsny.org/?page_id=1010
