There is no school this week. Have a great holiday weekend!
怎样有效地为本班级筹集到活动经费是大家都关心的话题. 本周利用无课的机会, 我们给大家重温一下这方面的一些tips:
为学校及班级捐献的方法 Ways to donate to the school and classes:
如果想为学校或班级给予经济上的捐助, 有几种办法:
· 购买学校出售的大华, 百佳, 晶晶, HMART等的礼券. 商家捐献6%的金额给你指定的班级.
Tips for contributing to your class and school:
· Direct donation to school or class. Please contact PTA or admin. ( email: pta@mail.nwchinese.org, admin@nwchinese.org )
· Some companies like Microsoft match your volunteering hours at NWCS with monetary donation. If your company does, please make sure you make the matching request if you volunteered at NWCS, and log your hours here: -> Volunteer time logs
· Buy gift certificates sold at school and your class benefits from it ( 6% of your purchase ).
申请微软公司volunteer donation match的方法 Instructions on apply for Microsoft company match for your volunteer hours
The Microsoft tool can be found by going to http://give and clicking on the “Volunteer Manager” button.

PTA新闻:
无线上网 WiFi internet
我们为大厅里的家长们提供免费无线上网已过了一年了. 近来随着用户的增长原有的router无法承担现有的流量, 造成近一两月用户很难连接或网速太慢. 为解决此困难PTA已经升级了router. 在前两周的试用期效果良好. 大家可以重新正常使用互联网了. 不过我们的带宽及可同时服务的设备毕竟有限, 希望大家不要用数据量大的应用, 不需要上网的时候请断开PTA网络.
We have been providing free wifi internet to the parents in the hallway for over a year now. The old router can’t support the increasing traffic well. To solve the problem we have upgraded the router and now the user experience is much better. However since our bandwidth is still very limited, please avoid using data-intensive applications with our network, and please disconnect from the network when you don’t need it.
图书馆 Library
鉴于图书馆的使用量较少, 从下周起我们每隔一周开放一次图书馆. 这样有些借阅时间也可相应延长.
Starting next week the library opens every other week.

西雅图华夏之声合唱团招生
亲爱的家长朋友们，
好消息！西雅图华夏之声合唱团现任艺术指导谢蕴言老师决定试行童声合唱团啦！
谢蕴言老师曾担任过１０多年中国最有名的中央少年广播合唱团的指导老师，钢琴伴奏。蔡国庆，鞠萍姐姐都曾是她的学生。移居美国后，谢蕴言老师又在威斯康星大学取得了音乐教育硕士学位。可以说在童声合唱指导及儿童音乐教育方面都有着相当丰富的经验。
在西雅图华夏之声合唱 9/24 演出中，仅排练了四周的小演员们在谢蕴言老师的指导下，为观众送去精彩的演出。 演出见链接: 小鸟天堂 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYxbGvliXEM&feature=related
演出结束后，许多家长都询问是否有长期开展童声合唱团的可能性。谢老师在经过一段时间的考虑后，决定试行一下。如果办得好，家长和孩子都满意， 就长期办下去。对于已经通过Audition的并参加演出的小朋友，无需再通过考试就可以直接加入。对于没有参加Audition的小朋友， 我们将安排Audition时间, 通过Audition后方可加入。本次Audition主要针对8-14岁没有变声的小朋友。如果有特别优秀的6岁以上的孩子也可以考虑。
Audition时间:11月20日(Sunday)。具体时间按报名人数多少安排。所有报名的家会收到具体通知。
Audition项目：节奏，音准测试，并准备一首歌曲。
报名邮件中请包括：孩子英文姓名，年龄，家长姓名，家长联系电话。
童声合唱团将发挥谢老师在童声指导及多年音乐教育上的特长 -- 在教授小朋友新歌的以准备未来演出的同时，着重于识谱，视唱，节奏和音准等多方面的音乐理论训练。谢老师希望能建立一支能与西雅图其它专业童声合唱团水平相当的华人孩子的合唱团。
试行期间 6 堂课 $50 - 所有演出之前彩排不再另外收费 - 所以基本上是收运营成本。谢老师希望更多有音乐天赋的孩子能接触合唱。并通过合唱这种艺术形式在提高孩子音乐素质的同时,培养孩子的团队精神。由于收费很低，加上合唱不仅需要会唱，还要互相磨合。因此谢老师鼓励小朋友不要缺课。如果有小朋友有事无法来上课，原则上不退款。如果老师因故不能上某节课，会提前通知大家更改时间。所有课程将避开主要节日。
最后，节日即将来临，有许多演出的机会等待着大家。希望有兴趣的家长尽快回复我们。谢谢。
授课时间： 11/20/11； 12/4/11；12/11/11； 1/8/12； 1/15/12；1/22/12 - Sundays - 6:00~7:00pm
授课地点： MercerIsland Covenant Church - 3200 78th Ave SE, Mercer Island- same as the audition location
望相互转告。
谢谢！
谢谢！
