NCLS 2015-2016 Support Education Program Announcement

Dear teachers and parents;

As we start the new school year of 2015 – 2016, the NCLS Support China Education Program has kicked-off its planning phase. This marks the 10th year of the Program. We will be providing support to students at Chongren Yi Zhong, Jiangxi province (江西省抚州地区崇仁县一中). More information about this school and the students will be made available on the NCLS web site. To keep this year’s program successful, we are recruiting new working group members. The number of working group members is not limited.  Any parent, teacher or staff who is interested in supporting and contributing is welcome to join. The working group members are all volunteers, but we would like you to take a look at your schedule before you apply, as we do need certain amount of commitment to the program as a team member. We will run fund-raising activities, have meetings and organize the students’ trip to China. If you are interested, please send an e-mail to supporteducation@newtonchineseschool.org before Friday October 2nd, 2015. If your kids will sign up for the student volunteer team, please sign up with your kids online by click the https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Bxy2MjLJVU619PbT9s6-Rj39B_w_dyp6e_FEiTqFGbc/edit

We are also forming a student volunteer group again this year. Every NCLS student above 8thgrade is eligible even if you are not planning to go on the trip to China in April and your volunteer hours will be recognized. For those students who would like to apply as a member to go to China in April 2016, volunteer work prior to the trip is required. We especially welcome our program alumni to volunteer again this year as a way to give back to the program. If you are interested, please register online by click the link https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Bxy2MjLJVU619PbT9s6-Rj39B_w_dyp6e_FEiTqFGbc/edit  as soon as possible.

Support Education Program Working Group will host a presentation by 2015 China trip team on September 27 2015 at 3:45pm in room 325, please come and join us to share all the interesting and meaningful stories from our students. This presentation will help you to understand and know more about this program and we will answer whatever questions about the program you have. There will be a registration onsite, you all are welcome.

Thanks and we are looking forward to working with you!
