HX fund to rebuild a school at the earthquake area. We
will keep you posted how the fund will be used.

The donation receipts are ready for you. Please come to
school office to find yours. For these non Chinese school
families, we will mail the receipt to your address later.

2. School Facility Rental increase Issue.
Some of you may already know that our school
administration team has been informed by Montgomery BOE
that our facility rental fee for 2008-2009 school year
will increase significantly.
We are very disappointed by this news.  However, please
rest assured that we are exploring all options to ensure
that our school's interests are protected. We will keep
you posted as it progresses.

3. This Saturday is the last day of school.
During the first session 1:30 – 2:45 PM, some classes will
have the final examination and some classes have special
activities organized by the class teachers. Before 3:00
PM
, all teachers bring their students to the Auditorium,
the graduation ceremony starts at 3:00 PM. The ceremony
has two parts. One is reporting part (Principal, Board
Chair, Dean, PA Chair, and Mayor). It may take up to one
hour. One is our students’ performance. It may take up to
2 hours. See attached - 07-08 final day final performance
