Dear MCS Families,

Hope all is well.  With the support of our MCS community families donating the Chinese book sets and the help of Camille Ong, our Chinese Book Club LibrarianCam, we successfully carried out our Chinese Book Fair last week with most of the book sets sold out.  As we are entering the 4th week of the Reading Month, please continue to encourage our students to keep up the momentum of Chinese book reading and/or multimedia watching/listening.  Below please find a few announcements for our 7th week of the class tomorrow.

Parent on Duty:

Family:  Lai, CheChen/Liu, Julia   

Tasks:

  • Keeping the school hours by ringing the bell at the beginning and the end of each class
  • Keeping students in order and safe during recess (e.g., no student running/chasing allowed inside the Ward church)

2021-2022 MCS Directory Proofreading (outside of the classroom area)

Our Documentation Team will place a draft of the MCS directory on the table outside of the classroom area tomorrow for families to proofread and confirm the accuracy of their respective contact information.  

Heads-Up: Harvest Festival Schedule (Oct 30, 2021)

  • 1:15 – 1:30  Parents dropping off the donation items centrally outside of the classroom area
  • 1:30 – 2:30 (Group A: 10 class parent reps): Goodie bag packing outside of the classroom area
  • 1:30 – 2:30 (Group B: 1st and 2nd grade parents + Booth decorating volunteers): Photo booth setup/decoration between Studio A and Studio B
  • 2:40- 3:30 Classes taking turns for photo shoot (5-min slot per class, starting w/ Pre-K).  One designated photographer takes photos for all classes (to minimize foot traffic in the booth area) and distributes the photos by class to respective class parent rep for further distribution. Class parent reps distributing goodie bags to respective class teacher after photo shooting
  • 3:30 Teachers distributing goodie bags to class students for take-home consumption 
  • 3:30- 3:45 Photo booth clean-up

Donation Campaign for “Hybrid” Harvest Festival (Oct 9 – Oct 30; Sign-Up Link Here)

With the support of our Activity Planning Team led by Yaling Huang, we are pleased to announce that we will still host a (safety oriented) harvest festival event on Sat (Oct 30, 2021); therefore, we would like to seek families’ support to sign up for the “goodies” donation and/or event helper.  Unlike our tradition before, this year’s event will not have a school wide parade or big group photo taken.  However, we will still set up a Halloween theme booth for students’ & teachers’ photos taken by class (more details to follow).  Students are encouraged to wear their favorite Halloween costumes to school that day with masks on and will be receiving their goodie bags at the end of the class from their teachers to take with them home.

Chinese Reading Month (Oct 2- Nov 6)

An approximately month-long event meant to encourage our students to immerse themselves with Chinese book reading and/or video watching in addition to their Chinese learning in class.  Parents are encouraged to join your student’s reading month activities to make it a family fun event!  

2021-2022 MCS Directory Advertising Fundraising (Now – Oct 23, 2021)

It’s that time again for our annual school directory editing/production (Big shout-out to our Documentation team led by Steven Lien and Wen-Chi Shaw) and advertising fundraising campaign.  It will be greatly appreciated if parents can sign up to contact the pre-populated sponsors and/or to develop new sponsors for our school.  Please go to the sign-up link (here) to learn more about the process and past sponsors.  

As a small token of gratitude, a reward of $20 (for each full-page advertisement) or $15 (for each half-page advertisement) will be awarded to each parent who successfully secures the sponsorship to our school.   Feel free to download the flyer with detailed advertising package options to facilitate your engagement with your sponsor(s).

Free Chinese Reading Book Exchange (outside of the classroom area)

  • Program guideline:
    • Honor system based so no reservation needed or rental record tracking
    • Exchange/Borrowing is limited to one book per student for one class week (i.e., pick up on Saturday class and return on the next Saturday class)
    • Donation of Chinese reading books are greatly appreciated

Health and Wellness Practices (in School & at Home)

  • Details can be found here
  • Two friendly reminders:
    • Universal masking upon entering the Ward Church facility
    • No indoor food consumption; snacking at outdoor areas only

MCS Volunteer Sign-Up (Link Here)

MCS is a non-profit co-op organization with students’ parents serving various non-teaching staff positions as volunteers to help create a self-sufficient, community oriented Chinese learning environment.  Serving as MCS volunteer is a great way to get involved and expand your network with other MCS families, and any help you could provide is greatly appreciated.  Each volunteer family is eligible for a $30 volunteer reward at the end of the school year.
