华夏总校辩论赛于4月26日圆满结束

华夏总校辩论赛北区决赛于04/26日在我校圆满结束。比赛分高低两个年级组，我校的参赛小选手们发挥出色，成绩空前，除获得高、低年级团体第一之外，还囊括了所有参赛场次的最佳辩手奖。比赛成绩固然可喜，可是友谊更是第一，这次比赛的另一大收获是我们增进了与本赛区其它兄弟队间的友谊。纵观整个比赛过程，秩序井井有条，其它参赛队高兴而来，满意以归。我们不仅收获了比赛成绩，更重要的是收获了理解和友谊。在此，向所有参加比赛的小选手以及选手们的家长，所有志愿人员致以衷心的祝贺；同时，也向与我们同场赛技的兄弟赛队致以诚挚的敬意。

Education Seminar: Nurturing Brilliance in the Midst of Mediocrity

Sunday 5/3/2015 10-11:30 AM. Registration room B
Our society does not always recognize nor appreciate brilliance in children. Our school system generally caters to “average” students and fails to understand the needs of high achieving students. Often, very bright and talented children are ridiculed by their peers who see them as “different.” Today’s session will help parents understand the needs of children who demonstrate exceptional abilities. Join mom, educator and author Dr. Janine Walker Caffrey to learn:

1. How to ensure your child’s educational needs are being met at school,
2. How to deal with bullying by other students and even teachers,
3. How to select just the right college to provide for the best possible future,
4. How to encourage high achievement while still allowing your child to enjoy childhood.

This will be an informative and interactive session. Dr. Caffrey’s books, Drive: 9 Ways to Motivate Your Kids to Achieve and Nurturing Brilliance: Discovering and Developing Your Child’s Gifts will be available for purchase following the session. Cash and checks only will be accepted (no credit cards).

Janine Walker Caffrey is an educator, advocate, author and speaker dedicated to improving educational opportunities for all. She taught in public schools for over a decade in the areas of special education, English for speakers of other languages and physics. Janine enjoys writing, and has published two parenting books – Drive: 9 Ways to Motivate Your Kids to Achieve and Nurturing Brilliance: Discovering and Developing Your Child’s Gifts. She has developed a parenting strategy called “Pathfinder Parenting” and loves to share this message with parents through video, television, radio, and speaking engagements. You can learn more about Dr. Caffrey at her website: JanineWalkerCaffrey.com.

《京昆会》专题讲座与演出

昆曲与京剧都是中国文化的瑰宝。华美协进会将于五月二日举办《京昆会》专题讲座，马少良、翁佳慧暨罗苏菲将于五月九日假座亨特学院Kaye Playhouse表演昆曲和京剧传统曲目。详情请参阅Flyer。

Kunqu and its most prominent descendant, the Beijing opera, are the unique classical Chinese theaters ablaze with a fusion of poetry, singing, dancing and acting, both of which have reigned as the predominant theatrical genres from the 16th century down to the 20th century, during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Like Shakespeare’s sonnets, Caravaggio’s paintings, Handel’s music: all true beauties that must endure the test of time, these two Chinese dramatic and musical genres still look and sound so fresh that they remain today as the towering and representative classical theaters of China （Ben Wang）. Please see the flyer for lecture and show information.

大纽约中文学校近年来规模迅速扩展。在发展学校规模的同时，我们也力求不断提升学校教学质量，学校管理团队针对学校发展的瓶颈制约因素和家长学生的要求，经过多方调查，详细研究，提出一整套解决方案。为了更好地帮助学生及家长平稳过渡，学校管理团队将向大家做详细介绍。

This Sunday Apr 19, we will have a parent teacher conference (PTC). The time is 11:30-12:30 for G1-G3, 9:30-10:30 for G4-G9 and AP Chinese.

In the past three years, HXGNY has more than doubled in size. While enjoying the fast growth rate, the school administration team is also focusing on continuous improvement of our education quality. To meet various requirements from the parents/students, and to remove hurdles for future growth, we proposed a set of solutions after months of research and discussion. To assure smooth implementation of the plan, the school administration team will present details of the plan during the conference.

Science Technology Club Presentation Recap

As proposed at the foundation of the club, the club will invite high school students coming to the club meeting and share their experience on research. Last Sunday, right after a brief introduction of Andrew Ma by Verna Yin, a high school student Andrew Ma provided an excellent presentation. He is a current senior in high school, a former Huaxia Chinese school graduate student, was featured in Popular Mechanics magazine with “Breakthrough Awards”, entered Intel STS 2015 Semifinalists, has successfully accomplished his science research with I-SWEEEP Gold Medal Engineering award, and was accepted by top universities. One example of his research of the topics in his presentation is “Temperature-Induced Concurrent Removal and Recovery of Wastewater Ammonia-Nitrogen”. During his project, he worked in the high school’s lab on a prototype of his ammonia-nitrogen removal and reuse apparatus. His research is very impressive. Besides students, parents were also interested and asked many questions. This stimulated kids’ interests in science and technology. The event for this club was very successful. We take this opportunity to appreciate Andrew Ma’s coming back to support our school science and technology club!
