NWCS Weekly Newsletter – 12/5

Dear NWCS families,

We are at Week 11 with three more sessions to go before the holiday break. I hope the warm weather continues until we return for the graduation ceremony and Chinese New Year celebration on January 9. We will have our General Meeting this week. From the principal’s desk, I plan to brief you about our exploration at a new curriculum structure that focuses more on topic-based Chinese learning. Please do join us on Saturday.

Thanksgiving potluck a great success
Thanks to all the amazing moms and dads who made our first Thanksgiving potluck a great success. I was at first fairly suspicious about holding a potluck at 10:30 am but apparently our kids were just happy to line up to try out the many home made dishes. Special thanks to Kay, Vivian and breakfast club for starting a new NWCS tradition. The only photo I took showed two lines of shiny, empty trays, cleaner than my sons’ dinner plates. If you took photos of your proud creations before the feast, please send them to me for web posting.
