Dear Parents and Teachers,

1. School resumes this Saturday, April 18, 2009.

Starting at 1:45pm in school cafeteria, we will have a very important parents meeting. In this meeting, I will provide you detailed information about the impact of the Montgomery BOE approved New Facility Rental Policy, the lengthy negotiations we went through and many tough situations and decisions we were faced and made, and how we should do in the future. The new policy directly impacts the student tuition. Please make your best effort to attend this meeting. The meeting will be finished before 2:20pm. A special letter I sent last week is attached in this email.

As a reminder, this week, we will hold elections for the HX Chinese School principal and board members. See attached for the candidates.

2. HX Field & Track Game. The HX F&T game will take place on Sunday, May 3, 2009, at East Brunswick High School, 380 Cranbury Rd, East Brunswick, NJ 08816. The game starts around 9:00am and finishes at 4:00pm.

Because the deadline for the HX Field & Track is this Saturday, I urge you to register your participation with Mr. Zhang Yuan Zheng via email at yuanzheng_z@yahoo.com or give to him this Saturday at school. We encourage you and your kids to participate in this event. The PA will sponsor the registration fee. The registration form is attached. The PA will also order T-shirt for all athletes. Please indicate the size you wish to receive. A $5 fee will be charged. Please also tell the PA what lunch you wish to have on that day. The lunch will cost $5.

3. Volunteers are needed for the International Night 5/8 at OHES. This year, International Night is scheduled for May 8th. One of the organizers, Mrs. Jennifer Haftel asked to find two to three volunteers to help her with registration between 6pm and 8pm. I encourage these parents who have kids in OHES support the event be one of the volunteers. Please let me know if you like to participate in the event.

4. Because school was closed on March 28, 2009 due to district conflicts, we will have class June 13, 2009.
