This Friday is the 15th week as well as last class week of 2018. For the coming holidays, I wish every family member of Silicon Valley Chinese School has a very merry Christmas and a happy new year.
There are two important traditional Chinese holidays next week - 9/24 Moon Festival and 9/28 Confucius Memorial, also known as Chinese Teacher's Day.
Moon Festival is a traditional Chinese Holiday in middle of Autumn, also called Mid-Autumn Festival. It's on the 15th day of the 8th Lunar month every year and it's a day for family reunion in the full moon. There are many customs as in Chinese tradition and literature such as eating mooncakes, making coloring lantern, etc. If you're leaning about the Moon Festival in this Friday's lesson, don't forget to ask your teacher the romantic story behind the holiday !
In a week will be the 2568th birthday of Confucius. A Confucius Memorial Ceremony will be held this Sunday 9/23 10am in TECO 100 South Milpitas Blvd., Milpitas, CA 95035. Everyone is welcome to experiance the traditional ceremony to memorize the greatest teacher of Chinese hisotry.
This Friday is the back-to-school day. Please do stop by your classroom and discuss with your kids' teacher about this year's curriculum, home work expectaion and class rules for your children.
Dear students and families of Silicon Valley School, welcome back! I hope all of you enjoy the summer. Now it's time for you to come back to our school continuing your Chinese language and culture learning.
This year our school welcome about 450 students in 8 CSL classes and 29 Heritage classes. Like before, we have all kinds of exciting activities scheduled ahead in our calendar. Please make sure you check out SVCS 2018-19 Calendar from our school website. One more important thing I'd like to remind students and parents is that Lynbrook High School has kicked off 2-year renovation plan during past summer. Campus route has changed and some of the construction areas have been fenced due to construction. Please do check out the new school map before you arriving.
I wish you all the best for the coming school year and look forward to seeing you all this Friday !
Principal’s Message - Alisa Hsiao
Dear parents,
It's time to say goodbye. This Friday will be the last school day of the year 2017-18.
I am very fortunate to have a bunch groups of well-established staff teams to help me run the school in
order. Huge support from our board members and advisors are always there whenever I seek their assistance.
Teachers at Silicon Valley Chinese School are the most important assets for our community. They devote efforts
and time to teach students to pass down the Chinese culture and history. Please give your teacher a hug
and thank them for what they have done for you this school year.
On behalf of SVCS teachers and staff, wish everyone has a nice, safe and joyful summer time!
See you in August!
