Dear Parents:

-Classroom room rent

During the early April, NCLS principals had a meeting with Newton public school facility department, discussed the classroom rent fee. Since the various utility fee have been increased  significantly, Newton public school committee decided to increase the classroom rent for all current clients annually until 2020, to cover this significant amount of increased expenses. The rent increase will be started from July 1, 2016.

For the current NCLS tuition, which has been used to cover mainly the classroom rent fee and the teacher’s stipend, can not cover the increased rent. In order to cover the increased gap, the school board has decided to increase a small percentage of the tuition from 2016 – 2017 school year.

Another thing, for the gym usage, the school used to allow parents play basketball and ping pong for free, but from the next school year, all parents who are going to play at gym need to pay certain amount of fee. All these money will be used to cover gym rent fee.

The detail information will be posted later.

If you have any questions regarding to the rent increase, you can stop by the library.

“Such a combination of enchanting, sensitive lyricism and hypnotizing forcefulness
is a phenomenon encountered very rarely.”
– Ury Eppstein, The Jerusalem Post
“He made the Allegretto dance with Mendelssohnian lightness and Lisztian diablerie,
and played the melody of the Quasi Adagio with melting softness.”
– Ivan Hewitt, The Telegraph
“One of the top 10 performances of 2010”
– by both theDallas Morning Newsand the Fort Worth Star-Telegram
“One of the top 10 classical music stories of the year”
– The Boston Phoenix
“… He displayed poetic temperament as much as technical power… A pianist with ample reserves of power whose imagination seems nonetheless most kindled by subtle delicacy.”
– Matthew Guerrieri, The Boston Globe
Mr. Haochen Zhang is a graduate of the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia where he studied under Gary Graffman.
He was previously trained at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music and the Shenzhen Arts School, where he was admitted in 2001 at the age of 11 to study with Professor Dan Zhaoyi.

Title of the topic: 

College Admissions — The 5 Most Important Things You Need to Know as a High School Junior

Short introduction of topic:

Please join Admissions Hero founders and Harvard undergrads Johan Zhang (’17) and Zack Perkins (’17) as they share invaluable knowledge on how to get into your top choice college. If your child is a junior in high school, you do NOT want to miss this!

Short introduction of Admissions Hero: 

Admissions Hero is a US college consulting and test prep firm consisting of top tier college students from some of the hardest schools to get accepted to (e.g. Ivy League, Duke, MIT, Stanford, Caltech, UChicago, and more). Over the past 3 years, we have helped our students gain multiple acceptances to every top 30 university. 74% of our students get accepted to an Ivy League or top 10 school, and 85% of our students get accepted to a top 20 school. Over 91% of our clients would recommend our services their friends and families.

Introduction of Speakers:

Johan Zhang was named salutatorian of his graduating class with a 4.0 GPA and scored a 2400 (first take) on his SAT. In addition to taking 11 AP classes throughout high school, Johan also self-studied 4 AP tests during his junior year. He is the winner of various awards, including the National AP Scholar Award, the National Merit Scholarship, and the Nordstrom $10K national scholarship. Outside of the classroom, Johan served as Class Vice President for 3 years and President for 1 year. Also, he co-founded a music charity that has donated over $12,000. Johan was elected Boys Nation Senator by 976 of his peers at New Jersey Boys State. As 1 of 98 Senators nation-wide, Johan was flown down to DC to meet various famous politicians, including President Barack Obama in the White House.

Zack Perkins graduated with a 4.0 GPA and a 2400 (single sitting) on his SAT. Zack took a rigorous course load, culminating in 13 AP classes and a german political philosophy course at Princeton University. His main extracurricular interests were focused on politics and economics, as he participated and held leadership in clubs such as Model United Nations and Federal Reserve Challenge. Zack also practiced Krav Maga, an Israeli martial art. Zack developed an extreme passion for one of his activities, YMCA New Jersey Youth and Government, ultimately becoming elected to the highest position of Youth Governor, the student leader of the conference.

第二组比赛将于四月三日在二楼礼堂进行,参赛的学生是中年级组(9岁到12岁)。比赛将在3:40准时开始。因参赛的学生有40人,为保证比赛在有限的时间内完成,所以我们要求所有参赛同学一定要在3:25准时到礼堂报到,过时不到者将按自动弃权处理。比赛的顺序将按照参赛学生姓氏的字母顺序由低向高进行,演讲比赛将先进行;之后进行朗诵比赛。所有三个年级组的比赛结果将在四月三日的中年级组比赛结束后发给所有参赛学生的家长。获奖学生的颁奖仪式将在学期结束前与毕业班的毕业典礼一起进行。

评审:评审组由本校七名非常有经验的中文任课老师组成。这些评委中的大部分老师在以往的演讲比赛中曾多次担任过评委,非常熟悉比赛规则及评分标准。每一位评委将本着公平、公正的态度,对所有参赛学生一视同仁,并按照《演讲及朗诵比赛评比规则》认真评审每一位参赛同学。

 评比规则:依照新英格兰中文学校协会的比赛规则,演讲比赛的评分将分为发音2.5分),语调2.5分),内容2.5分),仪态1.5分),和时间掌控1分)等五项,总分为10分;朗诵比赛的评分将分为发音3分),语调3分),仪态2.5分),和时间掌控(1.5分)等四项,总分为10分。按照比赛规则,每位参赛学生应该在规定的两分半三分钟内完成演讲。对过时未完成或时间低于两分半的学生,评委将根据规定扣除一定的分数。我们将除去七名评委中的最高分数和最低分数,剩下的五位评委的平均分数将是学生最后的总分。

 注意事项:在参赛学生演讲过程中,将有专人对学生的演讲时间进行提示。为了不打断学生的演讲,在演讲进行到二分半时,我们会通过用“声音鸣示”的方法提醒学生所剩余的时间。三分钟一到,会再用这种方法提醒学生“时间已到!”,但学生可继续其比赛直到完成。

 奖项演讲比赛设一等奖一名,二等奖一名,三等奖两名,鼓励奖两名;朗诵比赛设一等奖一名,二等奖两名,三等奖三名,鼓励奖五名。另外,为了鼓励参赛学生学习中文的积极性和热情,所有参赛学生将在比赛当日收到小奖品,以资奖励。

Dear Parents:

Newton Chinese Cultural Festival

由牛顿中文学校和牛顿市华人协会在牛顿市政厅共同举办的2016年中国文化节活动于3月12日获得圆满成功!感谢大家的支持和参与!

根据初步估计,前后共有近700多人参加了这次活动,其中有近1/3为非华裔家庭。牛顿市市长Setti Warren,牛顿市议员Jacob Auchincloss,学校委员会委员 Margaret Albright, Diana Fisher 以及 Sheryl Lappin 出席了这次活动并发言。他们对牛顿华人对社区多元文化的发展做出了充分的肯定,Jacob 更进一步鼓励牛顿华人在政治上作同样参与,使得华人在牛顿的影响力得以进一步提高。许多首次参加活动的牛顿居民对主办方带来各种精彩的活动,对中文学校绘画组老师临场发挥所创作的书法绘画和演出团体所表演的具有传统中华特色的武术,民乐和民族舞所折服。

这次文化节的成功的后面,是筹备委员会将近半年的精心准备,是许许多多个人和团体的顶力支持的结果。籍此机会,牛顿中文学校及牛顿市华人协会对所有参与的老师,家长,志愿者,演出团体和赞助商家表示衷心的感谢。

$15 each

As the Quartet-in-Residence at the Eastman School of Music, and previously the Blodgett Artists-in-Residence at Harvard University, Music,  the

Ying Quartet

occupies a position of unique prominence in the classical music world, combining brilliantly communicative performances with a fearlessly imaginative view of chamber music in today’s world. Now in its second decade, the Quartet has established itself as an ensemble of the highest musical qualifications. Their performances regularly take place in many of the world’s most important concert halls, from Carnegie Hall to the Sydney Opera House; at the same time, the Quartet’s belief that concert music can also be a meaningful part of everyday life has also drawn the foursome to perform in settings as diverse as the workplace, schools, juvenile prisons, and the White House.

The Ying’s ongoing LifeMusic commissioning project, created in response to their commitment to expanding the rich string quartet repertoire, has already achieved an impressive history. Supported by the Institute for American Music, the Yings commission both established and emerging composers to create music that reflects contemporary American life. Their most recent recording of commissions, titled “The United States,” features works by Ned Rorem, Jennifer Higdon, Chen Yi, and Augusta Read Thomas.
 
The Ying Quartet’s recordings reflect many of the group’s wide-ranging musical interests and have generated consistent, enthusiastic acclaim. The group’s most recent CD, “American Anthem” (Sono Luminus), heralding the music of Randall Thompson, Samuel Barber, and Howard Hanson, was released in 2013 to rave reviews; their 2007 Telarc release of the three Tchaikovsky Quartets and the Souvenir de Florence (with James Dunham and Paul Katz) was nominated for a Grammy Award in the Best Chamber Music Performance category. In addition, their much-heralded collaboration with the Turtle Island Quartet, “Four + 4,” explored the common ground between the classic string quartet tradition and jazz and other American vernacular styles, and won a Grammy Award in 2005. “Dim Sum” (Telarc), released in 2008, features music by Chinese-American composers that merges the Western string quartet with the aural world of traditional Chinese music. Released by Quartz, “The Ying Quartet play LifeMusic” was named Editor’s Choice by Gramophone magazine.
