MLCCC Newsletter (2015-11-13)

Dear Parents,

Thank you to all of our children, parents, and teachers who have been following the “no food or drink inside classroom except water” rule! You have done an amazing job! We appreciate your understanding and efforts very much!!

For this Sunday though, we would like to put this rule on break, in celebration of our children’s hard work! After the End of Fall Term Exams are administered, it will be fine for classes to have a snack party inside the classrooms the way we used to. Happy finishing of exams!

The rule will also be put on break again for the Winter Term and Spring Term Parties. Please remember to help the teachers to clean up the classroom after the party.

We also would like to thank the parents who signed the waiver for playing in the basketball court. Please remember in order to play in the Great Valley High School basketball court, you have to signed the waiver. The waiver can be found in admin's desk.

1. Chinese Language Classes - Exam This Sunday, Snack Party Inside Classroom Ok This Sunday
   Most Chinese language classes (except for PreK and K) will have an End of Fall Term Exam this Sunday. Please help your child(ren) to prepare for the exam. Snacking inside the classroom is allowed this Sunday, so feel free to host those After Exam Parties this Sunday. Please make sure to help the teacher to clean the classroom afterwards.
   
   
2. Giant Gift Card for Sale to Support PTO
   Our MLCCC PTO has partnered with Giant Supermarket to sell their gift cards. For every $20 of Giant gift card that we sell, our PTO gets $1 from Giant. You get the exact $$ amount of Giant gift cards that you pay for, while PTO earns its funding from Giant to benefit our MLCCC community. If you are thinking of holiday gift cards to the teachers, bus drivers, mailman, etc, please consider buying Giant gift cards from our PTO, which directly helps to support all the PTO activities! The card has a flex amount from $5-$300 to meet all of your needs.
   
   
3. Amazon.com Purchases Support MLCCC at No Cost to You
   If you need to purchase gifts from Amazon during the holiday season, you can donate to MLCCC at absolutely no cost to you. We set up MLCCC as a donation recipient of Amazon. So whenever you buy from Amazon, please support us by buying via their charity portal smile.amazon.com and choosing "Main Line Chinese Culture Center" as your charity. You only need to choose the charity once, then every subsequent time, use smile.amazon.com. smile.amazon.com has the same price as amazon.com, but Amazon will donate 0.5% your purchase to MLCCC, at no cost to you.
   
   
4. MLCCC Lion Dance Team Practice at 4pm - Everyone is Welcome!
   Our Lion Dance team will continue to practice this Sunday at 4pm. It is not too late to join. You do not have to attend every Sunday. Just come when you can. Our goal is to practice a routine so we can have something traditional and unique for our children during the Chinese New Year Gala. Everyone is welcome! It is fun and good exercise too!
   
   
5. Chinese Martial Art Students - Need to Buy Either Staff or Fan
   Mr. Valentino Rudi has assigned you to either staff or fan. Please remember to pay the money to Mr. Rudi this week and he will bring your staff or fan to you! You will be learning them very soon. Staff is $25 and Fan is $15.
