Congratulations to the six C-advanced class students and three AP class students who are graduating this academic year! It was heart-warming each year to see them growing up from one class to the next but heart-breaking to realize they will be leaving the school and moving on. We all wish them the very best!
​
Philip was able to capture many good pictures during our graduating ceremony. Here are a couple quick picks.

It was a nice day, but a very long and exciting one. All our students are well prepared after rehearsing many times in past weeks. In this special day, they dressed up very nicely in tuxedo, ties, and colorful blouses, ready for the fiercest competition.

Over 100 Chinese schools in the bay area participated in the annual ANCCS Academic Competitions. Besides the usual Cantonese LongDu, we also competed in Pencil Calligraphy.

We would have a school-wide Chinese New Year Party this Friday Feb 10 at School Cafeteria.
Please bring a festive dish to the Cafeteria between 6:45 and 7:00pm, and labeled it with class, student name and food ingredients.

There will be an optional food contest. The food contest is open for everyone, and we love your participation. Awards will be given to the “Most Traditional’, ‘Most Delicious’ and ‘Most Presentable’ dish. To allow for judging time, we request participants to bring their dish between 6:30 and 6:45pm, labelled it with nice name, class, student name and ingredients. (This can be the same dish for sharing).

The evening run-down will be:
6:30pm : Bring food in.
6:45pm : 7:00pm: Food contest judging (for judges)
7:00pm : Meet at Cafeteria (there will be no classroom open)
7:00pm : Kick off party, present food contest winners and enjoy food
7:30pm : Games starts

​See you this Friday!

We all had a great time with Santa at the Christmas party. The real exciting raffle came at the very end!

Thank you for the generosity of many parents and board members, our Santa Claus’s hands were getting tired drawing out so many winning tickets. Our official photographer, Vice Principal Amy’s husband, took lots of great pictures to capture the moments for us to share. Here are the ones with winning smiles.
