It is a great honor and pleasure to spend every Sunday morning with your precious kid.  Although each kid has his/her own pace in the learning process, your devotions toward your child's learning make great differences.  You should be proud of yourself and your kid for the progress.  Please continue your support throughout the "long" journey of language learning.  It will be one of the great assets that your child will appreciate later in life.

We also want to thank many parents who volunteer in the class and at the school.  Without your continuous assistance, our class is not able to run smoothly.   感恩您的付出,謝謝您!

Thank you again,

Jessie and Tungfen
