WHAT A SUCCESSFUL SHOW FOR
CHINESE LUNAR NEW YEAR!
Please allow me hereby on
behalf of NWCS Board, Admin and PTA to express our heartfelt gratitude to all
of our parents in general and volunteering parents in particular without whose
supports and efforts our show could by any means be as good as what it is. In
short, it is just like a perfectly-woven story. We are moved by your
hardworking, which in return brought us the gratification to cherish.
3。春节联欢会彰显西北精神风貌
春节联欢会是我校一年一度最大规模的庆典活动，它既能展示我校课外活动的丰富多彩，又可检验我校作为一个群体在公共生活领域的精神风貌。事实证明我们做到了而且做得很好：从集体安全、保持剧场的清洁和安静有序、到听从剧场工作人员的指挥和疏导、遵守剧场的各项规定，可谓事事到位、样样到家，用实际行动维护和提升了我校良好的公众形象。台上台下一样完美。
A
GREAT SHOW OF PUBLIC BEARING OF NWCS
NWCS
Chinese Spring Festival Performance is the show of songs and dances. It is also
the display of our spiritual styles and features as a community. We have done
pretty well to keep our promise: to comply with the rules and regulations:
safety in public places, good manners and behaviors: not to chase, not to make
noises, not to litter, no cooked food, no fruits, no seeds, etc. This is really
the testimony which has maintained and upheld the public image of NWCS as a
whole. Our joint effort has once again counted. The performances on the stage
and the behaviors off stage have perfectly matched.

5.高年级活动报道 REPORT ON SENIOR
CHINESE CLASS ACTIVITIES一月二十六日，我校高年级（9-12年级）包括AP中文班在内的所有学生，在全体高年级老师的精心准备和共同合作下，进行了一次有关“中国文化和生活”的主题活动。本次活动由四个部分组成：学剪纸、学写毛笔字、娱乐视频、猜谜语。同学们通过参加这样的活动，亲自动手剪出了自己的作品，用毛笔写出了漂亮的汉字，通过观看中国现在流行的娱乐访谈节目，同学们对当代中国人的生活和中国的国情有了比较直观的了解，进一步提高了他们学习中文的兴趣。这是我校中文教学形式改变的一种尝试、一个亮点。
6. 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，截止日期为二月二十三日。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。
