Teacher's appreciation day - Big Thanks to your teacher on April 5!!
This Friday, 4/5 is the teacher appreciation day. Please thank your children's teachers for spending so much time preparing each week's lessons, grading homework and exams, and instilling a little bit of Chinese culture and language into their lives each week.
Give her a round of applause or a thank you card since without their time and effort; we would not have the Chinese school that we have today. Gift-giving is totally optional
