Hello Everyone,

I hope that everyone is keeping warm .. this weather is brutal! When the tempeature hit 5 degrees today, it felt like a heat wave!

We had a great Chinese New Year celebration last Saturday. I received many compliments on the wonderful performances of our students! A special thanks to the teachers and many parents who have been working hard in preparing the students. A shout out to our Vice Principal, Ms. Shuna Awong who along with many volunteers, did a great job in coordinating the never ending details for the day. I don’t know about you but I have never seen Shuna lose her cool. She takes everything in stride and always stays on top of all her tasks … Thank you, and all the volunteers, very much for another successful New Year Celebration!

Let’s not forget our proud graduates from the 6th grade and 9th grade. Congratulations to our graduates for reaching an important milestone! And congratulations to the parents of the graduates! We all know as parents we probably do as much, if not more, than the kids. It was a day filled with much laughter. What better way to welcome the New Year! I hope that everyone throughly enjoyed the event!

Below is a message from our Vice Principal, whose work continues … Ms. Shuna Awong and our Arts and Craft teacher, Ms. Terry Taylor, are representing our school at the next WACA event:

“We hope everyone had fun at our Chinese New Year celebration and carnival last week. For those looking to further celebrate Chinese New Year, we encourage you to attend the Chinese New Year Festival sponsored by Westchester Association of Chinese Americans, which will be held on February 1st at the Westchester County Center. NWCS staff will be in attendance promoting our school. You can buy tickets and see further details at

This Saturday is week 14 of the semester and it is business as usual. So don’t forget to study.

After this Saturday, our winter break will commence. We will return on Saturday, 2/22 for week 1 of the Spring semester. Please plan accordingly.

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