Dear Parents,

Two important pieces of news to pass on this week. First is WVCLS Scholarship. Second is Chinese New Year Party.

First, WVCLS is delighted to announce that our school is once again offering merit scholarship to our current WVCLS students who are juniors or seniors in high school with the intention to matriculate at a college, university, or higher education institution. Each qualified and selected winner will be awarded a scholarship to cover part of their tuition, fees, or expenses while attending college. Please encourage your son/daughter to apply. Detail requirements, description of the process, and application form can be found and downloaded from our website: wvcls.org.

The deadline is March 1, 2019 and the scholarship will be awarded in May, 2019. The school looks forward to giving out the scholarship to the successful applicant(s)!
親愛的家長們,
我們很高興地宣布,我們學校再次提供優秀獎學金,以我們目前的WVCLS學生誰是在高中大三或大四的意向錄取的學院,大學或高等教育機構。  每個合格和選定的獲勝者將獲得獎學金,以支付自己的學費,雜費和費用,同時上大學。請鼓勵你的兒子/女兒申請。 詳細的要求,過程的描述和申請表格可以從我們的網站下載:wvcls.org。截止日期為三月一日,該獎學金將授予在五月二零一九年。
Second, Chinese New Year (CNY) is major celebration at the school where students can have fun and parents can socialize. The school is hosting a CNY party and pot-luck in the school's cafeteria from 7PM to 9PM this Friday, Feb. 08. 

Here are some important things to know:
  • All students report to the cafeteria. The classrooms will be closed.
  • Please bring a food dish (preferably related to Chinese New Year) and serving utensils by 6:45PM. Also label the ingredients of the food to avoid possible allergic reaction.
  • Parents may wish to enter their dish for the food contest. The dish must be submitted for judging by 6:45PM.
  • Room parents will be asking parents to help serve the food.
  • The school will provide plates, spoons, forks, napkins, paper cups, and water.
  • The cafeteria will have tables and chairs for students and parents to eat and socialize.
  • The party begins at 7PM with a speech from the Principal. Then food will be served. At approximately 7:30PM, Student Council has organized several games and prizes for the students. In addition, Student Council has provided several adult games that parents can participate. There will not be any performances this year.
  • The party will end at 8:45PM and clean-up begins.


On behalf of the WVCLS Board, we wish everyone:

新年吉祥 (Good Fortune in the New Year)
合家幸福 (Happiness to Your Family)
四季平安 (Year-Round Peace and Prosperity)
龍馬精神 (Great Vitality of a Dragon and Horse)
大吉大利 (Great Fortune)
心想事成 (May All Your Dreams Come True)
財源廣進 (Abundance of Financial Resources)
年年有餘 (Financial Surplus Year After Year)

Dear Parents,

I just want to remind you that there is no Chinese school this Friday, October 19.

Also next Friday (October 26), the Student Council will be hosting the "Family Fun Night" party/donation drive after school from 9:00 pm to 10:00pm in the Student Center. The party will have games and prizes. Tickets for the games will be sold at the door. In addition, you can buy snacks (pearl milk tea, popcorn chicken, and egg puffs 雞蛋仔) at the party. A pre-order form will be sent out next week and snack pick-up is at 9 pm. All proceeds will go to Student Council. Be sure to attend this fun event!

Dear Parents,

This is the first of many newsletters from the PTA to keep you informed of the events coming up at WVCLS. Another way to keep yourself informed about the school is our website: https://www.wvcls.org 

By now, the class representative should have contacted you for a donation to the class fund. This fund will be used for various activities throughout the year such as classroom parties, gifts to the teacher (and TA), and gifts to students.

Also this Friday will be the first Class Observation survey. This survey is an opportunity for you to improve how your child learns Chinese and give feedback on the teacher, classroom, and the school. To participate, attend your child's class between 7:00pm to 7:30pm and observe the teacher and classroom for at least 15 minutes. Then provide your feedback on the survey form. 

The form is available from:
- the school's hallway. Take a form before going into the classroom and return the form to the school office (in Homestead's Student Center).
- online form (pdf). Printout and bring the form to the classroom and return the form to the school office (in Homestead's Student Center).
- online form. Fill out and submit the form directly online.

There will be another opportunity on November 9 and December 14. 

Thanks and see you around the campus.

PTA Director,
Ken Law
