亲爱的家长们,

本周日2013年大华春季集市(HXGNY Spring Yard Sale This Sunday):
Time: 12:30PM-1:30PM; Location: H-Room

创意营销，锻炼能力，学在乐中， 学以致用

集 市在我国有着悠久的历史， 在中国传统文化中占有一席之地。 《周易》中即有“日中为市，各得其所“的记载。 集市不但是交易的场所，也是社交的场合。 在学校里，当代的校园营销更是给学生们提供了一种锻炼沟通交流、自我推广、市场实践等多项能力的有效方式。 为了帮助学生通过参与趣味销售活动扩展视野、增进能力，为增加社区活动的多样性，也为学校公益活动积累资金，华夏大纽约中文学校将于这个星期天12:30 至1:30 在学校大厅（H Room）举办2013年大华春季集市。 欢迎各家各户来集市上开设销售展位，出售家中不用的物品。 销售物品限于 A. 书籍、文具等学习用品； B. 玩具、运动器件； C. 自制的手工艺品；D. 节日服装； E. 中国工艺品; F. 不含花生成分的糕点饮料。 为了使此次活动更有教育性，每个展位都应有家中华夏学生参与销售。 我们鼓励参展学生在家长指导下制作广告、横幅、传单、价目表等促销物品。 为支付活动相关费用，也为其他公益活动积累资金，我们希望参加活动的家庭将销售总额的20-30%捐赠给学校。 活动结束后，我们将根据销售金额、展位设计、营销创意评选出若干奖项。 请点击这里阅读活动细则和报名表。 如您和您的孩子有兴趣参加，请填妥报名表，email 叶雪梅x_ye@hotmail.com。

Town markets have a long history in China and have been part of Chinese culture. Early records of the market (over three thousand years ago) can be found in the famous divination book Zhou Yi. The market not only functions as a trading place, but also as a social gathering place for the community. In today’s schools, campus marketing provides a valuable venue for students to practice marketing, self-promotion and inter-personal communication skills.  To help students develop extracurricular capability, promote community building, and to help school raise funds for other public events, we will host the 2013 HXGNY Spring Market this Sunday from 12:30-1:30.  We welcome all families to come and set up their booths and sell items that are no longer used at home.  The goods are limited to school supplies such as 1) books and stationery; 2) toys and sport items; 3) home-made arts and crafts; 4) holiday costumes; 5) Chinese art and craft; 6) peanut-free baked goods or drinks.  To emphasize the educational purpose of the event, student participation is required for all the booths.  We encourage participating students to create marketing materials such as flyers, posters, price lists, etc.  To cover the activity expense, and to fund future events, we recommend a donation of 20-30% of total sale proceeds to the school. Special prizes will be awarded based on booth poster design, sales amount and marketing creativity.  Please click here for detailed activity rules and registration form.  If you are interested, please email the completed form to Xuemei Ye at x_ye@hotmail.com.

Safety Reminder: Talk to your children about proper behavior and safety guidelines

最近，学校家长多次发现有学生在教学楼过道追逐奔跑，这有可能会造成安全事故。为保证您的孩子的安全, 请家长在家中花几分钟时间提醒孩子不要在教学楼内奔跑。学校老师将在课堂上重申教学楼秩序, 校委会安全委员会将加强课间秩序监督, 也将提醒值班家长维护秩序。

It has been observed several times recently that some students were running around along the building corridor. This may cause a safety hazard. We’d like to ask all parents to spend a few minutes reminding your children not to be involved in such behavior. School teachers will reiterate school security rules during class this week. The Security Council will reinforce safety checking, and on-duty parents will be reminded to monitor the children closely. We appreciate every parent’s help to maintain a safe environment in our school.

Recap: 日本围棋大使访问我校(Japanese Go Ambassador Visits HXGNY):

Last Sunday,  Apr 7^th 2013, two special Japanese guests, Ms. Narumi Osawa and Mr. Mozart Ishizuka, visited Hua Xia Chinese School Greater New York (HXGNY) at the invitation of Mrs. Jie Tang, a well-known Go player at North America and the Go class instructor of HXGNY.  Ms. Osawa is a professional Go player (4P) from the Go Institute in Tokyo, and was appointed as the nation’s Go ambassador by Japanese government. The accompanying visitor, Mr. Mozart Ishizuka (5P Go Player), is the president of the Japanese Go Club in New York. The guests were greeted by HXGNY school leaders Dapeng Hu, Jun Lin and Dachun Yao.  All the participants shared their zeal and support of spreading Asian culture in North America.  In the following three hours, Hua Xia students and parents played matches with Ms. Osawa, Mr. Ishizuka and Ms.Tang on handicapped stones. At the end of this fun event, Ms. Tang shared her thoughts from years of Go teaching, which was summarized as “Go is like life as life is like Go.” Please click here for photos and video. This event has been also reported by several regional media outlets, including bostonese.comEnglish-Chinese Online Journal and China Press. Please click here for details.

Originated in China, glorified as a reflection of ancient oriental wisdom, Go constitutes an important component of traditional Chinese culture. Being Chinese Americans, we shoulder the honor and responsibility of carrying forward this cultural jewel and introduce it to more people in this land, especially to the younger generation.  Chinese school makes an ideal platform to carry on this task. Ms. osawa and Mr. Ishizuka’s visit is part of HXGNY’s continuous commitment to Go education.

Recently, a Go Expo was hosted at Harvard University.  A documentary film is being created by the event organizers with Mrs. Jie Tang’s facilitation. If you would like to learn more about it, please check out the website http://www.surroundinggamemovie.com/.”

上周日四月七号上午,应华夏大纽约中文学校围棋老师唐洁女士(美东围棋赛5段冠军)邀请，两位特别的日本客人来到中文学校的围棋课堂。一位是大泽奈留美女士（专业四段)，被日本政府任命为围棋大使赴美国宣扬围棋文化。另一位是石冢莫扎特(业余5段), 日本围棋纽约俱乐部主席。中文学校领导胡大鹏，林俊，姚大纯等为来访客人举办了一个友好的欢迎仪式，宾主双方都对弘扬东亚传统文化，促进围棋事业表现了极大的热情和支持。在接下来的三小时，三位围棋高手与众多学生和家长展开让子对弈,场面欢快热烈，其乐无穷。 活动结束时，唐洁老师与大家分享了她多年来执教围棋的经验和心得，总结为“人生如棋，棋如人生”。照片请点击这里和录像。本次活动同时被波士顿华人双语网和侨报等多家媒体报道, 查看详情请点击这里。

围棋，起源于中国，堪称国粹，它集中体现了古老中华民族的聪敏才智，以及非凡的创造力和想象力。作为美籍华人，我们有责任和义务将围棋在这块土地上发扬光大，让我们的下一代认识围棋，承继这一文化精华。中文学校作为学习中文的平台，是传播教授围棋的理想场所。继此次交流活动之后，华夏大纽约中文学校还将在围棋教育方面做出新的努力，希望得到社区华人的大力支持。

最近在哈佛大学举办了围棋博览会，活动发起人组织拍摄了一部旨在扩大围棋文化影响力的电影，唐洁老师应邀协助此活动。请大家支持围棋，点击以下网站: http://www.surroundinggamemovie.com/.
