NWCS Weekly Newsletter – 11/7

Dear NWCS families,
 
I am very glad that a couple of parents contacted me last week to seek additional help with homework and learning. Thank you parents for your unwavered support to make sure your kids learn Chinese well. Sometimes, a quick repeat of the lessons just learned reinforces students’ memory. I highly recommend having your children stopping by Rm 111 at 11 am to get help from our high school tutors, who are happy to listen, pronounce, correct and answer questions. If your kids wish to start working on their homework there and then, that is great too!
 
Halloween at NWCS
Thanks to many talented and devoted parents as well as little princesses, witches, supermen and ninjas, we had a wonderful Halloween party. Please send me photos you’d like to share on the web site. I also have the posted photos in full resolution and am happy to send them. Please see http://www.nwcsny.org/?p=1158
Special thanks to Vivian and Kay’s organization for the bake sale. NWCS moms showed amazing talent with their cup cakes and sweet treats. Now I cannot wait to find out our school’s culinary talent at the coming Thanksgiving potluck. 
 
NWCS students won 1st and 3rd places at regional Chinese Calligraphy competition
Congratulations to our high schoolers 林詠雯, Rebecca Lim, and 張逸文, Alan Chang, for winning the 1st and 3rd place awards in Chinese Calligraphy competition organized by ACS Region 2 schools. Two other entries from 朱莉雅, Juliet Rose Weglarz, and 文天娜, Valentina Capshaw received honorable mentions. The award ceremony will be held in Flushing on November 14. The winning streak in recent years reflects not only the academic excellence of our students, but also the dedication of our Calligraphy teacher, 沈道茜老師, Ms. Daisy Rose. Thank you, 沈老師.
