Hello Everyone,

Before you know it, the weekend is upon us … Have you been to the stores lately? I went with my husband to buy Halloween candy (yes, Halloween is next Thursday!) and I saw all these Christmas decorations all over the place … it totally took me by surprise and confused me a great deal. I asked my husband, “Honey, isn’t there another holiday in between Halloween and Christmas?” … He laughed and said “Yes, in America, it is called Thanksgiving …” and he added “… we are probably going to have 40 people again this year …” Time certainly flies and it flies way too quickly these days, and the stores are not helping either by putting all the decorations out so early each year (like that is going to help me)!! Wait!!!!! What did he just say? 40 people again?! Now I wish we could just skip right to Christmas. I need a vacation NOW!

At least I know exactly what week we are up to in the Chinese School. Here we are, week 7. Most classes will be having their midterm exams, depending upon their progress. So good luck to those who are having midterms! I know my sons will be saying later when they get home … “midterm? Really?” Yes, really, time to get on the laptop and log on to the site and start studying now!

Some kids were asking me if they can come in their Halloween outfits! Of course you can! I am riding my broom into school tomorrow myself! We will continue our Halloween tradition. There will be candy for the students leaving the school tomorrow. A Happy Halloween wish from NWCS!

Tomorrow, we also have the monthly Board meeting starting at 10:15am. Any questions, ideas, suggestions that you would like to share with the Board, come see us!

A quick glance ahead:

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