PRINCIPAL'S WEEKLY MESSAGE 校長週訊 (2/13/2019)
Dear Parents and Students,
I hope you all had a wonderful time at our Year of the Pig Chinese New Year Celebration! The performances were great, food was wonderful and a good time was had by all. Most importantly, I was very impressed by the spirit of our parents that pulled together to put on this wonderful event notwithstanding the fickle weather. I am very honored by all of your heart and efforts.
I wanted to give a special thanks to the following people for their above and beyond contributions.
If I miss you, please accept my apologizes in advance. The error was mine and not that of your team leader!
If you weren’t able to make the Carnival, fear not, we have recordings of the performances and the list of unclaimed prize winners below. Without further ado, please see the very important announcements below.
