- Non-MLCCC Affiliated Individuals
Cannot Use Gym Starting on November 1
以其它中文学校出现的事故为借鉴，防范于未然。In light of a recent accident
that occurred at another Chinese school, and in consideration of the welfare of
our school’s community and our children, we have made the difficult decision to
no longer allow individuals who are not affiliated with MLCCC to use our gym starting
on November 1. Individuals who are affiliated with MLCCC are those individuals
who are currently attending, or have children attending, any MLCCC Weekend School
classes or are supporting our school in a meaningful way. MLCCC parents are welcome
to continue to use our gym free of charge.
- Flu Shot from Dr. Thuya
Aye (Parent of Our Student)
Dr. Thuya Aye, a parent of one of our students, would
like to come to our school to offer flu shot. Dr. Aye is practicing medicine in
Dover, DE. If interested, please contact Sarah Wu at 215-756-3202.
- Karaoke Machine Awaits Your
Use in Room 146 1pm-3pm & 4pm-5pm
Since our Senior CAREs Center’s opening, supplies like
mahjong and cards have been frequently used. Another good equipment that is waiting
to be used is the karaoke machine! You don't have to be a good singer. It’s fun
and hey you might develop several fans! So come and grab the microphone and hum
out your favorite melodies! Room 146 is available for karaoke from 1pm-3pm and 4pm-5pm.
- MLCCC WeChat Group Created.
WeChat is a popular group texting app on smart phones.
Some of our parents created a MLCCC WeChat group titled 明朗家长 for easier communication
amongst our school’s parents. If you want to join the group, please contact the
group owner/creator Connie Ning (Parent of Nathan Hartman, a CSL Level 1 student,
connie_ning@yahoo.com)
or PTO President Ms. Sherry Wang for details.

- "Celebrate Peace for UN70"
Concert and Events at the Kimmel Center on Saturday, October 24, 3pm

United Nations and peace through music.
The concert has some exciting aspects to it, including conductor Johan de Meij,
the composer of the Lord of the Rings symphony, who will lead our orchestra, and
Chinese violinist Yeou-Cheng Ma:
Dr. Yeou-Cheng Ma collaborated with the Lark Quartet, cellist Hai Ye Ni and Yo-Yo
Ma, violinist Stephanie Chase, and has performed in chamber music concerts with
faculty and friends of the Children's Orchestra at the Alice Tully and Merkin Hall,
the United Nations, the 92nd Street Y, the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in Manhattan,
Wave Hill, and toured Europe, Asia and the United State with the Dadap Ma Duo.
