春节是华夏儿女最重要的节日，是我们弘扬中华文化，承先启后的季节。我们的春节晚会将于2013年2月3日举行。庆祝新年的同时，也是我们中文学校全体成员展示我们的才艺和教学成果的一个窗口。我们邀请所有有兴趣参加演出的老师，同学，家长们把自己最好的节目准备好，请有意参与晚会服务的义工们把时间安排好，还有请我们中文学校大家庭的所有成员把2月3日在日历上标好，共襄我们的晚会盛举。

请大家留意晚会各项准备活动的后续通知。

The Spring Festival (Chinese New Year) is the most important holiday in our Chinese heritage, a season to celebrate our culture.  This year's Spring Festival celebration performance will be held on Feb. 3, 2013.  The celebration performance is also a window for everyone in Northwest Chinese School to showcase our talents and cultural learning.  We invite all interested teachers, students, and parents to have their performance prepared, volunteers to reserve the time, and everyone in our NWCS family to mark the calendar for Feb. 3.  We look forward to having everyone in making this performance a success.

Please watch for announcements for the preparation and other issues regarding the performance.
