同心协力,马到成功春节联欢会圆满成功!The 2014 Chinese New Year show is a complete success!
 
由PTA主办的西北中文学校的马年春节联欢会在2月2日获得圆满成功,一点都不低于 Seahawks 胜战。你们这些观众,演员和义工都不愧是我们西北中文学校的 Spirit of the 12th Man! 你们对我们学校和孩子的支持和爱,充分显示在舞台上。在此感谢所有为演出花了大量精力编排节目的老师,家长和学生,尤其想提一下节目 ”常回家看看“,它从一个很简单的三人小唱演变成了七个人带有深刻剧情的表演唱。这正是体现了只有同心协力,才能马到成功!还有为联欢会献出大量心血的策 划组织人员,以及认真负责的义工们。他们是我们春晚的无名英雄!尤其想特别提到的是节目主策划人卞荣荣・,舞台设计赵峥老师,舞台监督魏东和后台及票务主 管李明刚。没有他们三个月的辛勤关注,我校的春晚不会这样一环扣一环,回味无穷。愿我们的春节庆祝一年比一年更丰富精彩!Despite being on Super Bowl day and other local events, the NWCS 2014 Chinese New Year show sponsored by the PTA was well attended, and a complete success!  We would like to thank the teachers and students, the organizers, and the volunteers who made the event possible. Here is the quote from our Founder Frank Mei (NWCS 1st Principal): "I haven't seen such a wonderful and high level performance for a long time. I enjoyed every single minute of the show and did not regret missing the Seahawks at all. I strongly suggest you participate the Seattle International  Children's  Festival held at Seattle Center in May every year. And take any other opportunities to let more people to know you in the Great Seattle area. You are the best! I truly appreciate the honor that you have given to us and feeling we are sincerely recognized with love for the first time in 18 years. The trophy that I feel I don't deserve probably is and will be the most valuable present that I received in my life. The CNY is the reflection of your strong leadership and the prosperity of NWCS and I am proud to be part of it!"
 
 
品行教育小提示: 书信格式 A reminder about correspondence formats 
在这各短信流行的年代,我们很可能习惯了频繁的快捷直接的电子语句交流。这个大部份时候在朋友之间可能无伤大雅。但是,请家长们提醒孩子们,给别人写信,即使是用电邮或短信,不要忘了对别人的称呼和自己的落款,而且这在写申请、询问
、邀请类,或给陌生人写的时候是必须的。这看似小事,其实在我们的工作生活上是至关重要的。In this era of short messages, we may have got used to the style of short, quick correspondences.  This is may be fine between friends most of the time.  However, please remind the children that, including a salutation and signature, even with e-mail and text messages, is still an important part of correspondence.  This is especially important when writing for situations such as applications, inquiry, and invitations.  It may look like a small matter, but it is important in our daily lives and work.

Extra-Curriculum MAD SCIENCE registration starts at PTA desk
Welcome to the Mad Science Program where you will learn that physics is the science that just won't quit - it's everywhere!  We'll find physics in magic tricks, in stunt plane wings, in electrical currents and even a little bit in chemistry. Children will experiment with gravity, inertia, and centripetal force, see how magicians use science to pull off some astounding illusions, find out why "thin air" is one tough cookie, conduct cool chemical reactions, and much much more. Every class also builds awesome take-homes to share the Mad Science experience with family and friends! The program is a unique and innovative way to continue the learning process after school and your child will have so much fun it is hard to believe that they are actually learning at the same time. Room assignment will be announced shortly.
Student age: K-6 Grade (min 15 and max 20 students)
