Dear everyone,

May is the season for flowers in full bloom and it is also the month especially for moms…..there are even more blessings and appreciation around our school. We have the following agenda for your attention:

  • The final exam is finished and the paper will be returned to you along with the report card on the day of our closing ceremony on June 3.
  • May 13, 2007 (the second Sunday of May) is the official Birthday of Buddha, it falls on the same day as Mother’s Day, which also happens to be the Global Tzu Chi Day. These three special meanings for the important day remind us each year to be grateful to our parents, to appreciate our blessings, and to engage more diligently in spiritual cultivation.
  • May 20, 2007 we don’t have class on this Sunday as it’s Victoria Day – Did you have a good break during this long weekend? Here is an idea for you! Why not email to Stephany a letter (in Chinese if possible) to share what special events you have had during the long weekend to practice your writing at the same time? I would love to hear from you!!
  • June 3, 2007 we cordially invite you and the family to join us in the graduation and closing ceremony for the class of 2007 as well as the celebration for our 10th anniversary. The place is at “Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Toronto” – 888 Progress Ave., Scarborough
