Productive

Dear Parents and Students,

It has been a short but productive week.  I believe that everyone had a relaxing and enjoyable long weekend. 

On Friday, March 2^nd, we had a short assemble.  We presented the Tzu Chi Organization a check for NT$100,000 from funds raised during the Read-a-Thon.  I could not help but smile and feel proud.  All our students worked hard during the Read-a-Thon and with the money we can help other people in need.
