MLCCC Newsletter (2016-02-18)

Dear Parents,

Media coverage for our Gala this year was indeed the best in our Gala history! In addition to coverage by TV and media website, our Gala made the front page of the Main Line Times newspaper (February 14 issue) and the front page of the Main Line Suburban Life newspaper (February 14 issue)!!!

The Main Line Times newspaper contains a photo of our CHL 1st and 2nd graders! We brought 15 copies of the newspapers last Sunday and they were all bought out by parents. We will bring more copies this Sunday if anyone still wants to buy a copy.

For all the Chinese language classes(except PreK and K), the students will have their winter term exam the next Sunday (2/28). Please help them to review this week.
