时间：2014年2月9日，放学后地点：学校大礼堂活动：午餐（中餐，pizza), 游艺，文艺汇演

节目征集：文艺演出以各班级节目为主，辅以精选的由家长自荐的节目。如您或您的孩子有意登台演出，请电邮qingclaire@gmail.com。因汇演时间限制，表演人数要求五人以上（相声节目例外），低于五人的节目将被放入春天举办的 ”HXGNY Got Talent”。为避免歌舞节目比例过重，我们现只征集曲艺，说学逗，体操，武术，杂技，天津快板，小品, 京剧，地方戏等节目。除戏剧节目外，演出时间不超过3分钟。为了让更多孩子有登台机会，除学校、班级节目外，每名学生只允许参演一项自排节目。请尽速报名，我们将在01／26开始节目遴选。落选节目也将有机会在学校其他活动中演出。

征求专才：成功的晚会需要大家的支持。无论是想展示你高超的摄影、剪辑、特效制作、美工的功底，还是想借此机会结识更多技术达人共同进步，我们都热烈欢迎！晚会需要你们精良的技术支持。有意报名者，请email qingclaire@gmail.com。
