Dear NWCS families,

Thanks all for practicing the fire drill last Saturday. The evacuation process was orderly and smooth. Our registrar Mr. Tony Wu timed us to take less than four minutes. Let’s always keep school safety in mind, should we encounter such emergency.

Tutor at the 3rd hour
Most classes have just conducted midterm and students should expect to receive their scored sheets if not already. If you find your children needing help with homework or review of class material, please do take advantage of our tutoring session at 11 in Room 111. Our wonderful high schoolers are there to help. This year, the CSL curriculum is stepping up the focus on listening and speaking. If your kid is on the shy side and does not speak up during regular class, he/she can definitely benefit spending time with our high school volunteers to practice the conversations.

Dumpling (jiao zi) making photos posted
For the second year in a row, our Breakfast Club and talented chefs made dumplings from dough, flattened and wrapped with tasty filling. I believe our kids now get picky about only eating fresh made dumplings, not the frozen ones. Photos are posted here http://www.nwcsny.org/?p=1490
