From Principal Shawn Liu
- New England Association of Chinese Schools (NEACS) is hosting many school wide curriculum and extra-curriculum contests this year. Please see the items listed below. The NEACS contests should not conflict with our class contests planned for February and March. Rather we planned these contests as a preparation to get the students ready for the NEACS contests to which we encourage students to participate. Please let your teacher or me know if your child is interested. The school will subsidize the registration fee.
