招 生

各位家长,老师和同学，

2023春季学期结束时中文学校面临校舍危机。由于清洁人员的短缺，Rockwood学区决定终止所有的周末外租。听到消息的四月份开始，学校董事会成员和义工们就积极展开了寻找新校舍的工作。通过资深义工Julie，我们联系上了Efree教会任大为和崔晓方先生，并得到了他们的大力协助，终于在秋季开学前锁定了新的校舍 （1375 Carman Rd, Ballwin, MO 63021）。感恩！

中文学校2023年秋季学期即将于8月7号早8点开始早鸟免注册费注册，8月24号早鸟优惠截止。 正式开学时间为：8月27日星期天下午1：45。

新学期新气象，学校中文部精心为K-12 学龄学生准备了简体班, 双语班，还开设了成人双语班，供成人学习中文听说读写。新学期，我们不仅有中文部王申，向妮，张丹，王玉，赵丽华，张岳平，刘海虹，王洪洋，胡景佳，邵爱华，李建平，谢依玲等一批经验丰富的优秀教师继续为学校服务，还迎来了新的生力军。孙葆青，吕欣欣，徐院珍，张蕾，王宁秀，章稳等新老师将加入中文老师的队列。在此热烈欢迎新老师的加入！

青少才艺部秋季学期的课程也是丰富多彩，增加了不少新课：有刘元金老师的ACT Math/ Calculus，孙葆青老师的新加坡数学，祁新帅老师的商科入门，Hossam Hassan老师的击剑，廖淘老师的Public Speaking，张雯老师的编织，还有Ladue高中义工老师的Debate…… 一大波新课来袭，是不是看得怦然心动呢？即便不参加中文课，也可以报名感兴趣的才艺课哦。同龄的华裔孩子们面临同样的挑战，承担着类似的期望，在中文学校，孩子们可以在学才艺的同时认识新的朋友，一起度过一个愉快的周日下午。

学校在新学期保留了大部分上学期青少年才艺课程，包括爆火的Alex 和Lauren的儿童/成人绘画初中高级班，李建平的手工，魔方课，还有April Zhang的Kpop，刘蓓的少儿舞蹈，何江英的青少年民族舞，徐旭的象棋，王玉的唱歌，杨仕臣的Python编程，Paul Lee的功夫课.....上学期威震四方的少年舞狮队火热招新中，欢迎对传统文化感兴趣有热情的同学加入舞狮队，继续在新学期谱写辉煌。

成人部老师的新课有鲁植老师的摄影作品点评, 廖速波老师的内功太极拳，摄影大师和太极大师的名师精品课值得您拥有。

成人才艺课也是丰富多彩，包括沈娜老师的声乐课，田静老师的成人健身舞和瑜伽，何江英老师的成人古典舞蹈，刘隼老师的书法入门/成人水墨山水画/成人水墨画鸟写意，鲁植老师的摄影初/中/高级班和爆火的摄影外拍班，谢燕老师的太极剑/太极养生/陈氏老架1路，Judy Zhao老师的陈氏太极拳和武当太极剑，曾勤老师的陈氏太极高级班和水云太极扇，廖速波老师的七星剑，胡春玉老师的成人广场舞。

经过多年的努力, 我校成人的摄影课，国画课，太极课都已建成系列培训，从小白入门到学有所成毕业，是成人提升自身艺术修养和强身健体的极好机会。这些系列课程在全美的中文学校中也是数一数二，名列前茅的。

感谢王津海和章三红教练对重建羽毛球场地所做的工作，新学期成人羽毛球继续火热报名中......如果以上课程还不能满足您的需求，我们还有老师正在考虑添加新课，请时刻关注！

公益课方面我们将继续上学期广受家属老人们喜爱的张鹰成人英语初级课。在本校注册其他课程的学生家属老人可以继续免费上课，也可以申请减免注册费。

Efree华人团契每周举办信仰与人生座谈，免费提供给各位家长探讨人生意义的机会，话题接地气，形式放松。团契将邀请有丰富人生阅历的讲员组织座谈，欢迎家长们在这里解压答疑，无话不谈，无谈不欢。

新校舍来之不易，需要我们全校老师家长学生的爱护。在此特别提醒家长执勤义工，请帮助维护教室卫生和学校秩序。有小孩中文课的家长，请在帐户里选一个家长值班日期。

Saint Louis Chinese Language School 2023 Fall Semester Opening Notice

Dear parents, teachers, and students,

As the 2023 Spring Semester came to a close, our Chinese school faced a building crisis due to a shortage of cleaning staff. The Rockwood School District decided to terminate all weekend rentals. In April, upon hearing this news, the school board members and volunteers actively began searching for a new facility. Thanks to the dedicated efforts of our senior volunteer, Julie, we reached out to Mr. Ren Da Wei and Mr. Cui Xiao Fang from Efree Church, who generously assisted us. Finally, we secured a new location for the school (1375 Carman Rd, Ballwin, MO 63021) before the start of the Fall Semester. Gratitude!

The Chinese school's 2023 Fall Semester registration will begin with an early bird waiver of the registration fee on August 7th at 8 AM, and the early bird discount will end on August 24th. The official start of classes will be on Sunday, August 27th, at 1:45 PM.

In the new semester, the Chinese department has meticulously prepared Simplified Chinese classes, Bilingual classes, and also introduced an Adult Bilingual class for adults to learn Chinese listening, speaking, reading, and writing. We are delighted to have experienced teachers like Shen Wang,  Ni Ciang, Dan Zhang, Yu Wang, Lihua Zhao, Yueping Zhang, Haihong Liu, Hongyang Wang, Jingjia Hu, Aihua Shao, Jianping Li, Ee Ling Sea, and others continuing to serve the school. Additionally, we welcome new teachers like Baoqing Sun, Xinxin Lu Yuanzhen Xu, Lei Zhang, and others to join our teacher team. A warm welcome to our new and existing teachers!

The Youth Talent Department offers a diverse array of courses for the Fall Semester, with several new additions, including ACT Math/Calculus by teacher Jim Liu, Singapore Math by teacher Baoqing Sun, Introduction to Business by teacher Xinshuai Qi, Fencing by teacher Hossam Hassan, Public Speaking by teacher Tao Liao, Weaving by teacher Zhang Wen, and Debate by Ladue High School volunteer teachers, among others. These exciting courses offer a plethora of opportunities for students to explore their interests. Even if students do not take Chinese classes, they can still sign up for talent courses they are interested in. Chinese-American children of the same age face similar challenges and expectations, and at the Chinese school, they can make new friends and spend enjoyable Sunday afternoons together while developing their talents.

The school has retained most youth talent courses from the previous semester, including popular classes like children/adult painting classes by Alex and Lauren, Li Jianping's handicrafts, Rubik's Cube class, Kpop by April Zhang, children's dance by Liu Bei, ethnic dance for youth by He Jiangying, Xu's chess class, Wang Yu's singing class, Yang Shichen's Python programming class, Paul Lee's kung fu class, etc. The youth lion dance team, which was well-known last semester, is actively recruiting new members. Students interested in traditional culture are welcome to join the lion dance team and continue their glorious journey in the new semester.

The Adult Department offers new courses such as photography critiques by teacher Lu Zhi and internal energy Tai Chi by teacher Liao Subo. These excellent classes by photography and Tai Chi masters are worth experiencing.

The adult talent courses are also diverse, including vocal classes by Shen Na, Zumba and yoga by Tian Jing, classical adult dance and Hanfu fashion show by He Jiangying, Introduction to Calligraphy by Liu Sun, photography intermediate and advanced classes as well as outdoor photography classes by Lu Zhi, Tai Chi Sword and Tai Chi health preservation and old frame by Xie Yan, Chen-style Tai Chi and Tai Chi fan by Judy, Chen-style Tai Chi Second Routine and Water Cloud Tai Chi Fan by Zeng Qin, and Seven-Star Sword by Liao Subo.

Thanks to Coach Wang Jinhai and Coach Zhang Sanhong for their efforts in rebuilding the badminton court, and registration for adult badminton continues to be popular in the new semester. If the above courses do not meet your needs, please stay tuned as we are considering adding new classes!

In terms of community service courses, we will continue with the well-received Adult English beginners' class by Zhang Ying. Students' family members who have registered for other courses at our school can continue to attend the class for free or apply for a registration fee waiver.

Efree Chinese Fellowship holds weekly seminars on faith and life, providing free opportunities for parents to discuss the meaning of life. The topics are down-to-earth and the form is relaxed. The fellowship will invite speakers with rich life experiences to organize discussions. Parents are welcome to relieve stress and answer questions here.

Acquiring the new location has not been easy, and it requires the care and attention of all teachers, parents, and students. We especially remind parent volunteers to help maintain classroom and school order. Parents with children attending Chinese classes, please select a duty date in your account.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the school at stlcls@stlcls.org or call 314-325-6971 (text message preferred).

Thank you all! With a new semester, a new location, and new opportunities, we'll see you at Efree!
