Calling for volunteers and fundraising for the 2014 Chinese New Year show
西北中文学校的春节联欢会是我们每年最隆重的传统节目之一,而我们联欢会除了是大小演员们的表演平台外,也离不开义工们的支持。我们欢迎各位家长和高年级的同学参与联欢会的工作,请在报名表上报名。联欢会预定于201421日在Bothell市中心的Northshore Performing Arts Center彩排,22日正式演出。义工们虽然不在台上表演,但台前幕后肯定是大家显身手的地方。为晚会有赞助意向者,请电邮 pta@nwchinese.org        The NWCS Chinese New Year performance is one of our most important events.  While the show is a showcase for our talent performers, its success is dependent on a dedicated volunteer team.  Please sign up to volunteer for the performance.  The show will be at the Northshore Performing Arts Center in downtown Bothell.  The rehearsal will be on Feb. 1, and the performance on Feb. 2, 2014. If you or your friend would like to help fundraise the show for the school, please contact pta@nwchinese.org for details.

西北中文学校品德教育  Virtues education at NWCS 
良好的品行对孩子和家长有重大意义。如果孩子在课堂上的良好行为得到老师和家长的认可和鼓励,孩子会感受到他的行为的价值所在,能成为其他孩子的榜样。老师和家长的一个小小的,及时的认可和鼓励往往能对孩子今后的学习、工作、生活都起到终生的影响。PTA和学校从本学期开始,每两月选择一个品德主题,和课堂老师共同推动品德教育。我们本学期选择的主题是:尊敬,责任感,同情心,诚实,感恩。11月和12月在各班倡导的品德教育是:尊敬。尊敬会表现在如何有礼貌的与人对话,如何对属于他人的东西和隐私保持一定的距离,如何对他人的想法表示有礼貌的认可。尊敬不光是需要对他人表现,也要对自己。尊敬会使人在每天的日常生活中有价值感。Practicing VIRTUES in the classroom takes only minutes but the acknowledgement of Virtues by a child’s teacher and parent may impact a child’s life forever. As our children are learning academic excellence, Virtues help empower each child and parent to live a more meaningful life. Virtues are part of our daily lives – Parents to raise children of compassion and integrity, teachers to create safe, caring and high performing learning communities, leaders to encourage excellence and ethics in the work place. In order to allow our children really understand Virtues, we think the best way is to learn Virtues in action. PTA would like to work with teachers in the classroom on one Virtue for two months. This school year we will practice the following virtues: 1.Respect (尊敬); 2.Responsibilities (责任感); 3. Compassion (同情心); 4. Honesty (诚实); 5. Gratefulness (感恩). In November and December, we start with practicing Virtue RESPECT in the class. With respectfulness people’s privacy and personal belongs would not be violated. With respect people will not speak rudely to each other and treat others as if they don’t matter. With self-respect you would not let others use you or hurt you. Being respectful helps people feel valued, every day.
