NWCS 2nd-2 Weekly Email Briefings, Spring 2011

Dear All NWCS Fellow Members;

Dear All Parents, Teachers and Students;

各位家长、各位老师;

亲爱的同学们;

大家好!

值此元宵佳节之际,让我们共同欣赏这首描绘元宵佳节的诗词,祝愿大家节日愉快!

玉萧唱遍江南曲,
火树能焚塞北风。
惟有清光无远近,
他乡故国此宵同。

——元夕诗(清)施闰

一、 最好的之一

ONE OF THE BEST (NWCS PERFORMANCE HAVE BEEN HIGHLY RATED)

我们若用“好戏连台,应接不暇”来形容大西雅图华人社区几周以来一个接一个的春节文艺庆祝活动,相信大家都会赞同;即便您可能不认同连台的是不是都是“好戏”,但有一点我想大家是认同的:令人应接不暇。本来,文艺既可以是“阳春白雪”,也可以是“下里巴人”。只要是健康向上的,给人们带来愉悦的,就是好的。“西北中文学校的兔年的春节联欢会是最好的”,有的侨领这样对我说,我认同,我谢谢,我补充说“是最好的之一”,代表大型非专业演出的较高水平。我觉得这样说才斯文,也更合情合理。借此机会,再一次向参加演出的全体师生和台前幕后的义工家长们致谢!谢谢你们为学校赢来了荣誉,谢谢你们为社区送去了欢乐!

二、我校儿童诗歌表演《读唐诗》载誉归来

WELL–PRAISED OF READING TANG POETRY BY NWCS STUDENTS WITH MS ZOU YAN AS THE CONDUCTOR

由美国亚洲表演艺术剧院(导演:李恒达)主办的《春之颂:迎春综合文艺晚会》上周六(02/12/2011) 在华大迷你大剧院隆重举行,阵容强大、表演精彩,颇具专业水准。我要说的是:我校董事会副董事长施红作为主持人之一主持了这个大型的晚会;我校邹燕老师编导的儿童诗歌表演《读唐诗》与专业人员同台献艺,孩子们的表演同样精彩;如果说施红的主持和专业演员给观众带来的是欢声、是笑语;那么,我们西北《读唐诗》的孩子们给观众带去的是童稚、是高雅。朗朗的唐诗仿佛把人们带回到了那大唐盛世。

三、基础太极拳班面向家长免费开课

TAI QI CLASS: FREE FOR PARENTS

大家一定记得:我校春节联欢会上,有一个父子(吴嵘、吴峻涛)同台表演的节目《中国功夫》,表演精湛,传真传神,掌声不断,令人印象深刻。经协商,学校决定聘请吴嵘先生为广大家长教授基础太极拳,弘扬国粹、修身养性。所有我校在校学生的家长及任课老师一律免费,欢迎踊跃报名,尤其是男士们、爸爸们莫失良机。 时间:十二点至一点,教室:2502,原乒乓球上课的体育馆。下周六(02/26/2011)开始授课。报名:admin@nwchinese.org

四、乒乓球课改在主校附近的华州乒乓球训练中心授课/TABLE TENNIS CLASS MOVES TO WA TTT CENTER

因设备,尤其是球台的质量等原因,经与教练协商、部分家长同意,乒乓球课下周起改在主校附近的华州乒乓球训练中心上课。交通、集合、接送等具体事宜,请卢伟和有关家长26日中午到校长办公处协商。正是:名师出高徒,好事需多磨。

五、经济上暂时遇到困难的家庭可申请减免学费

表格和具体实施办法都在我校的网站上,截止日期为二月十九日。让每一名来自当今经济低迷大环境下家庭经济暂时遇到困难的学子顺利入学,并得到必要的资助和关爱,这是西北中文学校对全社会的庄严承诺,是“西北人”对每一名学子的坚定保证。西北中文学校的大门永远以最低的收费标准向所有家庭、包括经济上暂时遇到困难家庭的学生敞开。并努力为学生们提供最高水平的教育。

Northwest Chinese School Continues to Offer Reduced/Waived Tuition for Chinese Language Classes for Students from Low Income Families

All NWCS students, current or new, from families with Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) lower than Washington State standards (details are listed on the Application Form: NWCS FA Form-1088), can expect to pay reduced tuition (up to 50%) or to enjoy 100% tuition waiver (tuition free) for one 2-hour Chinese Class only. In other words, this policy is not applicable to any selective classes at NWCS.
