请大家留意晚会各项准备活动的后续通知。报名详情请问你们各班的PTA Lead.

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 at 2:30pm on Feb. 3, 2013, at the Northshore Performing Arts Center at Bothell High School.  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 for registration and audition in December, volunteers to reserve the time at our New Year Celebration volunteering site, 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. For program registration, contact your class PTA Lead for details.

We will bring in additional collections. There will be used books, DVD movies and TV series, including children's materials, at the fair. Each used item will be priced for $1 to $3 only. We will also have the popular 英汉双解中文字典 for sale (new, at $11 each). All proceeds go to NWCS PTA.

Raise money while you ice skate in Bellevue Downtown Park
-      Make it a class gathering! 
Enjoy some holiday ice skating and raise money for NWCS PTA – and learn how to skate! Visit the Chaplins Bellevue Volkswagen Ice Arena brought to you by Bank of America at Bellevue Downtown Park between November 23 – December 18, 2012 or January 7 – 13, 2013, mention you are with Northwest Chinese School to the cashier and a $3 donation will be made to NWCS PTA for each paid $10 rink admission (includes skate rentals).
 
Interested in learning how to skate? Visit the ice arena on these Wednesdays: 
Nov 28, Dec 5 & 12, Jan 9 between 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. and learn how to skate from the pros! Castle Ice Arena instructors will be on-site to give complimentary skating lessons when you buy a normal $10 rink admission.
 
家长值勤安排

The next classes for parent-on-duty are as follows:

            Nov. 17    AM - 6A;  PM - 6C

coming up:
            Dec.   1    AM - 7A;  PM - 8C

Each class will need 2 parents for safety patrol, and 2 parents for the gift certificate sales.  AM refers to classes starting at 9am, and PM refers to classes starting at 12noon.  Please inform the parents of the specific duties and procedures.

Safety patrol  Safety patrol parents must arrive before 8:45 for morning classes and before 11:45 for afternoon classes, and stay until about 30 minutes after classes begin.   The parents should get the safety patrol jackets from the principal's desk.  The duties include directing traffic  outside of the school building, and ensuring that students walk safely in the school premises.

Gift certificate sales  Gift certificate sales parents can get the gift certificates from the accountant, Ms. Xu Min at the admin desk.  Please remember to record the classes for which the certificates are purchases, because 5% of the proceeds go to the respective class funds.  Morning parents should stay until 10:50, and afternoon parents should stay until 1:30.

Please take a look at the overall class duty calendar to know your class' scheduled date, and prepare to organize the parent duties about 2 weeks ahead of time. 
If you have any questions or your role has been transferred to other parents, please contact Minggang Li at ming.li@nwchinese.org
