Dear Parents/Guardians/Teachers/TA:

Happy Teacher’s Day (Confucius’ birthday is 9/28) 教師節快樂PCLS would like to thank all of the Language and Culture Teachers – without your dedication and commitment, PCLS would not be possible!  .

On this Sunday, 9/29, PCLS will host the 14th Annual Confucius Memorial Ceremony (祭孔典禮) in New Jersey (See attached poster). Prep starts at 10:30am for the volunteer helpers and some PCLS admins. Music and dance performers will rehearse around noon. Parents: please come and invite your friends to join this special culture event 2:30-4:20.  

Students in T7, T8, T9, T10 and CSL7, CSL8 will also attend the ceremony and should go to the Upper Gym by 2:20pm (or follow what your language teacher mentioned in the email). The other language classes of younger children will be on as usual. All culture classes will be on regular schedule.

The influx of outside guests and helpers may create traffic congestion and parking might become difficult. Therefore, we appreciate if you could arrive early or car pool to reduce traffic jam.  Traffic sign of “Extra Parking” will direct you to the parking space behind school building (around ice rink and Lacrosse parking lot).  Parking spaces in front of building are reserved for event.  Please avoid prolong vehicle standing in front of the building.  Thank you for your cooperation.
