23. Qianying Yin & Jian Jin Event & Activity Team Lead Event & Activity Team 文化活动组 尹黔英; 金剑

24. Prograss and Planning 计划与工作进展 • We successfully celebrated both Chinese Moon festival and Chong Yang festival. Not only our kids now know more about the holidays, but also enjoyed the Moon cakes. • Following are the events left for the remainder of the school year. • Chinese New Year 中国新年 • This is the major holiday in China. To celebrate, CCC is going to host “Chinese New Year Celebration” as they did in the past, which is quite an exiting event. As a result, we are not going to conduct a separate activity. But we do want to continue our involvement – having the teachers presenting the history and tradition of Chinese New Year to our kids. Plus each kid will receive a “Red package” (红包Hong Bao) as we do in China. • I Can Speak Chinese 我会说中文 • This is an event that shows our students how much they have learned. They can be proud of their achievements. Base on this spirit, we would like to try something new: selecting two students from our school who can speak Chinese fairly well and have them host this event. They will put their Chinese knowledge to good use. We hope this will encourage their peers to put the Chinese they have learned into perspective. To reward their hard work, each student who gets on the stage will receive a ribbon and a gift.

25. Prograss and Planning 计划与工作进展 • Spring Field Trip (TBD) 春季郊游 (待定) • We would like to keep our school tradition of going out of the classrooms as a group to have fun, enjoy nature and strengthen friendships. • At the moment, we do not have a definite plan for the location and activity yet. If any parents have some good ideas or know what places may fit our needs (kids’ age-range is big), please let us know. • Graduation School Fair 学年结业庆典 • This is the last event of the school year. By experience from last year, kids really enjoy all the activities in spite of the hot weather. We will keep the same format, having pot-luck, group activities and so on. Since we would like to keep all the kids involved, it’s going to be very man power intensive, a lot of volunteers are needed. If you are able to help on that day, please let us know. We appreciate your support! Acknowledge: Jialing Jin; Ying Yu; Mei Rogus; Janet Franklinmade great contribution to Mid-Autumn and Double ninth Festival events.
