Dear NWCS Fellow Members;
Dear All Parents, Teachers and Students;
1. 您知道吗？再过两年，西北中文学校就要庆祝自己的二十岁生日了！从1995年创建到现在已经十八年，从最初仅有三位老师，四十几个学生到现在成为拥有两千多师生的名校，这一路的风风雨雨，我们经历过了什么样的胜利，什么样的失败，什么样的痛苦，什么样的感动，让我们一起用文字记录下这一段成长的历史，让它成为我们共同的精神财富。学校现在面向所有曾经参与西北中文学校的师生家长征集稿件。征稿的题目范围包括（但不限于）：
· 我与西北中文学校
· 我对西北中文学校的记忆
· 西北中文学校趣事
· 我想介绍的西北中文学校的一位。。。
