- 24 Game on 1/15 and 1/22/2017 - Register Now, Prep During Break
If your children are bored during this winter break, it’s a good opportunity to have them practice some 24 Game for our competition on 1/15/2017!
Registration starts now by email or WeChat with your child’s name, gender and regular school’s grade (not our school’s grade).
Again, our enthusiastic students Sophia Pan and 5-time 24 Game champion Kenny Yang (out of only 6 years of 24 Games at MLCCC) will co-organize this event and be the chief judges this year.
Below is the announcement from our young chief judges.
Our 24 Game is back again by popular demand!
If your child knows basic arithmetic (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and subtraction), then this game is for them! 24 game sharpens participants' math skills, and speeds up their mental calculations.
Games will be on January 15 and January 22 during recess time. Register your children in one of three ways to participate:
- at the Admin Desk
- by responding to this newsletter
- through the MLCCC WeChat group.
We need your children’s names and their regular school grades to pair up the players.
Rules:
If there is a grade gap between the two players, the younger student starts the game with the number of points equal to the grade gap.
Whoever reaches 8 points first wins the game, unless the grade gap is greater than or equal to 3. Then, whoever reaches 10 points first wins the game.
If you motion to answer but do not give the correct answer within the allotted time, your opponent receives the point.
Participants who pre-register receive $2 school dollars regardless of winning or losing. Participants who join on the spot receive $1 school dollar.
The awards are:
Grand Champion: $50 school dollars
Runner-Up: $30 school dollars
Champion of Each Grade: $10 school dollars
We also need a number of volunteer judges. Please sign up to help out for a successful competition!
- 2017 MLCCC Chinese New Year Gala - Looking for Sponsors
Our 2017 Chinese New Year Gala is on Sunday afternoon 1/29/2017, right at GVHS. This is a free admissions event for all people of the Greater Philadelphia area who would like to experience and celebrate this wonderful Chinese holiday with us. The Gala includes two parts: New Year’s Show (1pm-3pm) in auditorium and Culture Fair (3pm-5pm) in cafeteria.
We are looking for sponsors and businesses that would like to place ads in our beautifully designed Gala program booklet. This helps us to defray the cost of this Gala. If you know of anyone who would like to be a sponsor, please have him/her contact us.
Looking forward to see you in 2017!
Best Regards,
Li, Xia - Principal
