Dear Parents:
The spring finally comes. Our spring semester has already past half way. We have a lot of activities going on at the school. To give you a heads up, our fall registration will start in mid-May, please stay tuned. We won’t have school on 4/19 due to spring break. However, we do have class on 4/26 as a snow make-up day.
– Speech Competition:
1. Award list for 4/5 speech competition:
在4/5进行的2015年牛顿中文学校中文朗诵、演讲比赛高年级组的比赛中,一共有19名学生参与了这次活动,其中11名同学参加了朗诵比赛,8同学参加了演讲比赛。与以往一样,在这些同学中有的是重返赛场,也有的是今年第一次参加演讲比赛的新手。但不管是那一位同学,他们在演讲/朗诵舞台上展现给大家的是自信、勇气、坚持、以及对学习中文的热爱,让我们看到了未来在异国他乡传承中国文化后继有人的希望。因此,对所有参赛的同学来讲,因为他们的参与,所以他们个个都是赢家。
至 此,高年级组的比赛的比赛已全部完成。在家长们的大力协助和同学们的积极参与下,这次比赛进行得非常顺利,在此我们也对各位家长给予的热情帮助表示衷心地 感谢。比赛中,七位评委们对每位参赛学生依照比赛评分标准进行了认真,公平的计分。最后,根据每位学生的总得分决出了每组前三名获胜的学生,同时也决出了 每组获得鼓励奖的同学(因为演讲组有一半的同学因各种原因没能按计划参加比赛,所以学校根据实际参赛学生的人数对奖项名额做了调整)。

– Parent Teacher Forum
Last semester, our teacher Ms. Ruiyun Wang and Ms. Xiaodong Zhao hosted a parent forum regarding how to help children learn Chinese at home. The forum was geared to parents of K-3 grade students. Many parents joined the forum and had a wonderful discussion.

– Soccer Field
Last Sunday, Newton park and recreation staff found some parents have started playing soccer outdoors, but per Newton Park and Recreations requirement, they won’t open any soccer fields until next week (Even Newton Youth Soccer teams are not allowed to practice at this moment and the city is evaluating the field frequently). It is because the grass needs to root before taking any stomps. Please follow Newton city rule and wait until we are allowed to play soccer outdoors.
