MLCCC 3/10/2017 - Daylight Saving Time, Character Contest, Persistency Award, and much more!
Dear Parents,
This is an urgent plea to all parents:
We have had a few parents contact the school regarding kids running fast in the hallway during class breaks and a few accidents have already occurred where the kids ran into each other and one or both kids fell onto the hard floor badly. Even though no injury has occurred or was reported to us, this is a serious accident waiting to happen! We ask all of our parents, during class breaks specially, to pay attention and to stop kids running as soon as you see them! The safeties of our children are most important to us all and can only be achieved through our collective efforts.
Starting this week, school will post no running signs in the hallway, so please help the school by telling the kids to observe the rules and stop running. We thank you for your cooperation and your attention.
向全体老师和家长的紧急呼吁：孩子们的安全第一， 共同努力把意外事故防患于未然！
最近以来不断有家长向学校反映他们在走廊里发现孩子们快速的奔跑，尤其在楼道和走廊的转弯处。几个负责任的家长反映说，看到已经有几次不大不小的碰撞事件发生，他们的孩子被突然撞到在地，书包或者其他的物品被撞得满地都是。小孩子撞到在地，会碰撞在非常光滑和坚硬的地板上。这是一个极大的安全隐患，我们希望再次呼吁全体老师及家长们，以身作则，加强安全意识，帮助学校维持楼道次序和安全，发现孩子们奔跑的时候一定要进行阻止。 只有大家充分的认识孩子们安全的重要性，共同努力把意外事故防患于未然！
本周学校将在走廊里摆放“不准奔跑， 奔跑危险” 标记， 希望家长们随时随地提醒孩子们，课间走廊内不准奔跑！把任何意外和事故防患于未然！
谢谢大家的关注和参与！

- 识字比赛 Character Recognition Contest This Sunday - Procedure and Need Volunteers
Students who registered to compete will be called from classes to the contest area. Students do not compete against each other. They simply try to recognize as many words as possible when the judge shows them a stack of vocabulary cards. Contest usually does not take long for each student.
We need judges for this contest. If you are available to test our students, please come to the Admin Desk at 1:30pm. The task is simple.
This Sunday will be for CHL 1st to 3rd grades. 3/19 will be the contest for CHL 4th grade and above, and all CSL Levels.
For students who wish to participate in this contest, please register online at

It is a good opportunity and makes for a good reason for the students to review the textbook vocabulary s/he has already learned. A reward will be presented to top performers at the End of School Year assembly in May. Each participant will receive $2 school dollars.
The contest rules are as follow:

Teacher: Our Weekend School SAT Prep teacher Mr. Tom Le. Below is a summary of the summer SAT program from Mr. Le.
Results Oriented: During the school year, our SAT Prep students have taken two diagnostic tests [1600 is the highest score]. After about 17 hours of class time, a few students increased their score by over 100 points. The class average score after the 2nd test was over 1300 points, well above the national average, and further highlighting how impressive the improvement in score truly is as it gets much harder to improve as the scores get higher (it approaches asymptotically to 1600).
