From Activity Principal Connie He
Chinese Week Activity:In the afternoon of February 7th, numbers of CCSA families participated in Children

Pavilion activities during the Chinese Week at the Chinese Culture Center in Phoenix. Many CCSA volunteers helped do calligraphy demonstrations on Chinese names by translating from visitors\u2019 names. They encouraged children to involve in lots of handwork activities reflecting theme of the Year of the Ox, such as folding bags, cutting papers, making little Chinese - English mini books for the basic Chinese language, folding fortune paper bag, and creating dough arts, etc. This is a great opportunity to provide cultural awareness for the younger generation and also for teenagers to experience arts and crafts, cultural entertainment, Chinese history, as well as volunteering experience. In addition, Cynthia Yu played flute solo -

\u8309\u8389\u82b1 on the performance stage. Volunteering families are Jimmy, Judy and their daughters-Rachel and

Sandra Yu; Zach, Yujing, and their daughters-Terisa and Cythia; Hua Hao and her two children-Angeline and Shaun Xiong; Larry and his daughter-Julie Song; Ping Lu; Steve and his daughter-Susan Tu; Hai Zhao's two sons-Daniel and Henry Zhao; Jing Jing Smith; Qian Zhou; Ying Liu and her daughter-Jenny Jiang; Cynthia and Betty Li; Feona Dong; Yang Wang, Megy and their daughter-Angelia.

Annual Picnic Event:CCSA just successfully held an annual spring picnic at the Dissert Breeze Park in

Chandler on February 28th. This year\u2019s picnic attracted lots of parents, students, and friends to join. Everyone enjoyed the warm weather. The sun was glistening on the vibrant green grass that had freshly mown smell. The ducks waded in the lake, content with their surroundings. The \u2018green\u2019 tennis courts are busy with players rallying in the game. The sand volleyball court was filled with parents and students\u2019 laughing. Little kids were climbing up and jumping on the big Bouncer. Some students were playing water balloon. Young kids were lining up to wait for their turns for the face painting\u2026what a great picnic event! As always, nothing could be done without our volunteers. Many thanks to those volunteers who contributed extra hours to prepare for this event. They are Qi He and her family, Hua Hao, Yujing Wu, Qian Zhou, Shicheng Tao, Jie Yang, Jimmy Yu, Judy Chan, Zach Yu, Larry Song, Gary Li, Yang Wang, Steve Tu, Hai Zhao, Yulan Wang, Tony & Fannie Tam, Bo Guo, Ping Lu, Ying Liu, Nan Li, Zeev Lipks, Kathy\u2019s family, Guihong Li, Yi Wei and his family, Jack Ren, Irene Wei and her family, Chiu-Men Juang, and Jian Fei.

From School Nurse Guihong Li
If you\u2019ve heard it once, you must have heard it 999 times: BREAKFAST IS THE MOST IMPORTANT MEAL
OF THE DAY! Why? You spend eight hours or more in sleep at night with no food or drink, you\u2019re sort of

dehydrated. Your blood sugar is relatively low and you have less energy, and now it\u2019s time to hurry the kids up and head to school in the morning. More so than any other points in the day, you and your kids need nourishment in the morning, especially your youngsters. According to research, children who eat a healthy breakfast are more likely to have better concentration, problem-solving skills, and eye-hand coordination. They may also be more alert, creative, and most likely to pay attention in class.

So parents, please remember to provide your kids a healthy breakfast that consists of protein, fat, and carbohydrates. This will make sure that their blood sugar is up for several hours. As you may know, a drop in blood sugar can cause a decline in energy level, and your child may start to feel hungry and develop stomachaches or headaches. Hungry children can be apathetic and irritable when confronted with difficult tasks.

We all have expectation on our children to achieve a high-bar in their academic and also their wellbeing. As parents, the least we can do is to make sure that our kids do not go hungry in class. Please feed your kids on a breakfast\u2014a healthy breakfast!

From Chinese Teacher Ping Lu:

We received a total of 46 letters and 20 pieces of artwork from Sichuan students on January 31st. Teacher Jingning Zhang delivered it to us after back to the town from visiting Sichuan last December. I attached a poster with part of their greetings and artwork here to share with all of you. Let\u2019s wish them the best!

Board Election - Every Vote Counts!

Voting is the bare minimum participation in a self-governed society like our school with volunteers aboard. However, it is the most valuable right we could ask for. We will have a school Board election per CCSA Bylaws. All parents, teachers and staff are encouraged to participate in the upcoming Board election. Let your voice be heard! Let's vote, vote our conscience, and get others to vote too. More information will be forthcoming with details thru emails, so keep this in mind!
