NWCS Weekly Newsletter – 2/27

Dear NWCS families,
 
Welcome back after (only!) six weeks of break. I am sure our students are all looking forward to learning Chinese with their classmates. In this semester, our B track (Chinese as Second Language) teachers will pilot the new curriculum based on Chinese Wonderland that emphasizes more on speaking and listening. We are looking forward to studying students’ learning progress as well as getting parents’ feedback. Our Dean, Ms. Wang, teachers, and myself plan to brief NWCS families about the pilot next Saturday, March 5, at 11 am in the Middle School theater next to the cafeteria. 
 
Raffle drawing to support our school
We are still selling raffle tickets. We have Saks Fifth Ave gift cards, a Kindle Fire,  a $50 Starbucks gift card, a wonderful arts and crafts gift basket by Terry Taylor, and books published by NWCS alums as prizes. Raffle Drawing will happen on March 19th at 10am. Please come to the cafeteria during class hours to buy tickets if you have not done so already. Thank you to those who have purchased tickets!  Every penny goes to help our wonderful school! (And if you are still interested in donating prizes, please contact chairperson@nwcsny.org).
