Chinese Grocery Store Coupon Sale:

Please purchase these coupons to support the school. You can purchase these gift certificates in 10 dollar increments. The more you purchase the more you are helping Saint Louis Chinese Language School. These coupons greatly benefit the school itself. The school gets 10% of your total bill when you use them at the Chinese stores.

School Facility:

This year we have rented the facility of St. Joseph Institute for the Deaf again. As you see, there are many items displayed on hallway or in classrooms.  Please tell your children “DO NOT TOUCH” anything that belongs to St. Joseph Institute for the Deaf (SJID).  It is very difficult to find and rent a place big enough for our school, so we don’t want to have any complaints from SJID.

Parent Activities:

We have organized some seminars for the parents. Please do not miss the notices and attend the seminars. The activities will be posted in front for the school. If you have some other ideas please contact board member- Allie Li (636-536-7439).
