Hello NWCS community

We held our 2013 Fall General Meeting on Saturday, 11/23/2013. I hope you had a chance to attend.

Here is a summary of our meeting:

This Thanksgiving day, we are thankful and grateful that you and your family has chosen Northern Westchester Chinese School “NWCS” to be the rigorous, yet welcoming place where you can learn Chinese Mandarin and culture. For over 40 years, our not-for-profit school has been harmoniously serving families in the greater Westchester / Rockland / Putnam / Fairfield Counties. If each parent, child, teacher, and volunteer staff member keeps working together then NWCS and our community will continue to be successful for many years to come.

So, if you have ideas on ways we can keep improving, please email us at chairperson@nwcsny.org and/or principal@nwcsny.org, and remember to ask for help if you think you or your child needs it. We are a diverse community with lots of talent, so let’s keep talking, listening, and sharing our ideas.

Important Reminders: 

• · No school on 11/30, we return to school on 12/7.
• · Shop on Amazon through this link website and sign into your Amazon account and the school will receive funds. It is win win for you and our school! Please shop til you drop by using the link on our website! THANK YOU!
• · Thanks to Benson Louie, our previous board chairman, who continues to think of ways to help raise funds for NWCS. Ask your workplace about corporate donations to schools, not-for-profits, Chinese language, or culture programs
• · Please help us spread the word about our school – send interested parents or students to chairperson@nwcsny.org and/or principal@nwcsny.org
• · Oh, our chairman promises that the next meeting will be partly in Mandarin (he is looking for any opportunity to practice/show off his Chinese).

On behalf of the NWCS board members and the administration staff, Calvin (chairman) and I wish everyone a very happy Thanksgiving … hope you have a lot to be thankful for! I know I do, I am thankful for my family and friends on this special day! Let’s also wish a Happy Hanukkah to our NWCS Families who celebrate it! This year it falls on the same day as Thanksgiving! The last time that this happened was in the 1861, but Thanksgiving wasn’t even officially invented yet! How special is this! Happy Holidays to all!
