From Principal Shawn Liu
- G8 and G9 kicked off the first “Books and Cookie Time” last week. They spent half an hour browsing through library books just for fun. For some of them, this is their first time visiting TCLS library. They found story books they had read but in Chinese and some comics were quite interesting too. G7 will have “Books and Cookie Time” this Sunday and others who are interested are welcome too.
- To prepare for the holiday seasons, we’ll be making special order of traditional Chinese food which include
Bamboo wrapped rice with meat or in vegetarian style (肉粽/素粽) – 1 for $3.5 and 3 for $10
Tofu skins (豆腐皮) – $8 for a box
Pan fried Bums (生煎包) – $8 for a box with 4 bums
Meat soup (肉羹) – $10 for a box.
Please place your order through bakery, Li-Chu Lo (lichu02139@hotmail.com), and pick up on 12/16.
- In the event of the inclement weather or snow day the school cancellation will be posted on our website (http://www.thechineselanguageschool.org). You will also be notified via email.
