December 23, 2008 A Holiday Message from Chinese School

Dear CCSA families,

As we celebrate the holiday season this year, I would like to extend my appreciation to each of you for your continued support and commitment to CCSA's success.

The fall semester has been a successful one for many reasons. Our school now has more than 500 students enrolled. We have taken several steps to be a more cooperative and efficient organization. We have launched many new classes and award programs to improve the quality of teaching and learning. Hundreds of students participated in our Chinese knowledge/skill competition. All of these accomplishments were the result of a shared commitment from our teachers, students, parents and school administrators. We should all be proud to be part of this organization that has so many dedicated volunteers committed to serving our school and the community.

I want to wish everyone a safe and joyous holiday season and a wonderful 2009.

Warmest regards,

Su Lin
CCSA Principal
