Dear All,
This year’s Chinese New Year assembly is on Friday, February 13, happening in just two weeks. Can all homeroom teachers please remind your students or send notices home for dressing up in traditional Chinese clothes for that day? We’ll have dragon/lion dances, exciting Wei Feng drums, and folk dancers performing in front of the Academic Building. We’ll also have folk art and crafts vendors exhibiting their arts and products in the Foyer. The students can also bring some money and buy goodies they like. Please find the assembly schedule and program in the attachment.
If you lost a cell phone yesterday, please see Mrs Tyoschin to see if it is yours. (No – this is not the same one that was just posted as “lost”.)
If you have found an iPhone in a pink case, please bring it to Mrs Tyoschin’s office. It was lost yesterday at break.
Thank you!
