NWCS Weekly Newsletter – 11/14

Dear NWCS families,
 
At Week 9 we are scheduled to have a board meeting. Please feel free to stop by the meeting to participate in the discussion and contribute your ideas. Next week, we will have our General Meeting where your ideas could become part of the agenda. No, you don’t have to be a board member to attend the board meeting and by attending, you will not be volunteered to become a board member!
 
Letter of gratitude – 感恩信 
In addition to the highly anticipated Thanksgiving potluck party on 11/21, the Breakfast Club came out with another great idea. We would like to encourage all classes (particularly Grade 4 and above) are encouraged to put together a letter of gratitude (yes, in Chinese). Each class please work on the letter as a team, and have one or more volunteers to present to teachers and families in the cafeteria before food is served in the party.
 
Donate to NWCS by shopping at AmazonSmile program
Please remember to use Amazon.com through www.nwcsny.org website so we can get 0.5% of the sale proceeds from eligible purchases. The 0.5% would have been pure profit to Amazon if you do not go through our school’s link.

Also for high schoolers’ interested in a Math/Social Science project, you are welcome to speak to me to model and predict wining entries of weekly newsletter. With much cooperation from NWCS parents, we expect to accumulate 12 batches of timestamped replies. You may find the data interesting and useful to build a little STEM project. 
Your principal,
Yuan-Chi Chang 張元極
