Dear teachers and parents;
With the strong support from school parents, teachers, staff, working group members, The Tan Family Education Foundation and the communities surround Boston area, NCLS Support China Education project become very popular. We have celebrated our school 10 years successful Support China Education project in June this year. More parents and students would like to join the team, to contribute their time and to help the students in China who has financial issue but eager to learn.
As we start the new school year of 2016 – 2017, the NCLS Support China Education Program has kicked-off its planning phase. This marks the 11th year of the Program. We will be providing support to students at Yuci Er Zhong, Shanxi province (山西省榆次二中). 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 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

We are also forming a student volunteer group again this year. Every NCLS student above 8th grade 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 (9th grade and above) who would like to apply as a member to go to China in April 2017, 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.
Support Education Program Working Group will host a presentation by 2016 China trip team on September 25, 2016 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. We will also answer all your questions about the program.
Thanks and we are looking forward to working with you!
