Hi Everyone,

It is the end of September! Can you believe it?  When someone at work, who was taking the rest of the week off, said to me, “See you next month!”, I was like “Seriously?”  Then she started to talk about how she is planning to do some early holiday shopping, I had to close the door on her …seriously.  I can only plan for the next few days in advance, like week 4 of Chinese School!

I hope everyone is settling into the Saturday morning Chinese School routine.  I am sure it was a little rough after a nice long summer … well, help is on the way.  Next week we have no school so you can use the extra time to catch up on your Chinese homework …

Mid Autumn Holiday, 中秋節, is this Sunday.  We will have delicious moon cake tomorrow at school.  I hope you pre-ordered them last week.  No worries, our board members, Ms. Cindy Huang and Ms. Cherry Kung, have ordered some extras for tomorrow so you can enjoy a taste of the holiday!  I know that several teachers are planning to celebrate the holiday with the students, please be mindful to keep the classroom neat!  Our Chinese Art and Craft class will be making paper lanterns!  Cool, huh?!

There will be a “bake sale” tomorrow hosted by several teachers/parents as a fund raiser for our teacher, Ms. Liu-Weinstein.  Come and show your support!  

We will also be reserving 3 – 4 tables in the cafeteria for the hosting school as they are having some exciting sport events and will be having lunch in the cafeteria afterwards.

Looking forward to the next month:

10/6 – No School

10/13 – Week 05 – Ivy Lab will be on site to talk about their program.  More information to come.

10/20 – TBA

10/27 – Halloween celebration

See you tomorrow! Classes start at 9am.  Please be on time.
