瑞得福國際學校:2.16丨校長致家長們的一封信Principal's Letter To Paren

校長致家長們的一封信Principal's Letter To Parents

Dear All,

親愛的各位，

We hope you enjoyed a wonderful, restful break for Chinese New Year—or otherwise spent the CNY holiday in a fulfilling way. My family and I visited grandparents and enjoyed wholesome recreational activities. Many of you may have done the same. As I reflect on the past year,I deeply feel that family is the fundamental unit in a strong civilization.Wonderful conversations, discussions, and wholesome recreational activities can bind families together for generations. Service and renewing one’s commitments to love and serve one another is also a link that welds families together and helps heal families. There can be tremendous joy in such relationships.

我們希望您在春節(jié)期間享受了美好而寧靜的假期，或者以其他愉悅的方式度過。我和我的家人拜訪了我們的祖父母，享受了有益、健康的娛樂活動。你們中的許多人可能都做過同樣的事。正如我對過去一年的反思，我深深感到家庭是強大人類文明的基本單位。精彩的對話，討論和健康的娛樂活動可以將家庭團結在一起。相互承諾，彼此扶持是聯(lián)系焊接家庭關系的重要紐帶，并幫助治愈我們的家庭。這種和睦的關系可以給我們帶來巨大的歡樂。

Importantly, we missed you! We are excited to begin school again. The campus is quiet now, but it will come alive as you return! We look forward to seeing you soon!

重要的是，我們想念你!我們很高興再次迎來開學。校園現(xiàn)在很安靜，但是當你返回時它會再次活躍起來!我們期待著你的返校!

Important announcements and reminders for the coming weeks include:

未來幾周的重要公告和提醒包括：

* Dress Uniform Reminder. During the Chinese New Year, the weather and temperature have become warmer. Please remind your child to bring all uniform clothing to school, including the dress uniform. We will have yearbook pictures taken in dress uniform in the coming two weeks.

* Attention Musicians! We are pleased to announce that a string orchestra and chorus from Lake Highland Preparatory School of Orlando, Florida will visit RDFIS in April. The director, Mr. Michael Simpson, is one of the most highly regarded secondary school orchestra directors in Florida, and he taught Mr. Dalal a long time ago! During their visit, our guests will collaborate with RDFIS students and then perform a concert of classical and popular music. If your student plays a musical instrument and would like to participate, please have them bring their instrument with them to school this week. In the next three weeks, we will meet with interested students and fit them to a musical position, if possible, and provide them music so they can begin to prepare. Many interested students will be able to participate, depending on their level of experience. We look forward to the collaboration and showing our international visitors many great things happening at RDFIS!

*音樂家即將來訪!我們很高興地宣布，佛羅里達州奧蘭多湖高地預科學校的弦樂團和合唱團將于4月訪問RDFIS。指揮Michael Simpson先生是佛羅里達州最受尊敬的中學樂團指揮之一，他很久以前便是Dalal先生的老師!在訪問期間，我們的客人將與RDFIS學生合作交流，然后舉行古典和流行音樂的音樂會。如果您的孩子想參加演并演奏樂器，請讓他們在本周帶著他們的樂器到學校。在接下來的三周內，我們將與感興趣的學生會面并盡可能讓他們適應樂譜，并為他們提供指導，以便他們開始做準備。許多感興趣的學生將能夠參加，具體取決于他們的演奏水平。我們期待RDFIS與他們之間的合作并向國際訪客展示許多美好的事情!

* USAD Team. Good luck to our USAD team(below) who are competing this weekend in Chengdu. They have studied the 1960’s, which was a decade of tumult and commotion. Despite the challenges of our day, we are grateful that there is significant peace among most nations. USAD students return to class on Tuesday. Good luck, scholars! Go Eagles!
