Fall Semester Final Exam
Final Exam for the first Semester is scheduled this Saturday (no exam for K1 class). Please remind your children to study for the examination.

Chinese New Year celebration
February 24
To celebrate Chinese New Year, the CHS PTA is hosting a luncheon for students and their families after the Chinese New Year celebration on February 24. Sign up with the PTA as soon as possible. Click here for more information.

In previous years the PTA has raffled off new unused toys and household items at the Chinese New Year celebration. We would love to continue this fun event at this year’s celebration but THE PTA CANNOT HOLD THE RAFFLE WITHOUT PARENT VOLUNTEERS. The parent volunteer raffle committee will work together to plan and run the raffle. Please email chs_pta@ymail.com to participate or if you have any questions about the raffle committee.

Additionally, the PTA will need volunteers to help with game booths in the morning set up and clean up. Please email chs_pta@ymail.com or see Judy on Saturday if you would like to help in one or more of these areas. This will go towards your parent duty commitment for the year.
