  Monday June 29th As we finish our first year together, I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. This year was a big change for me. I was new to Taipei after living in southern Taiwan, and starting at a new school in a new city was both exciting and challenging. From the very beginning, your kindness, patience, and support made that transition so much easier. To my wonderful students, thank you for making me laugh, for working hard, for asking thoughtful questions, and for filling every day with joy. Watching you learn and grow has been one of the greatest privileges of my life. To all of the parents, thank you for your trust, encouragement, and partnership throughout the year. Your support has meant so much, and I truly appreciate everything you have done to help your children succeed.

  Week 19 (6/15-6/18) Monday June 15th Hi everyone, We are now truly in the final stretch of our school year! Our final written test will take place on Wednesday, June 17th, and we will also be finishing the last unit in our MyView book. There will be no quiz this week because of the shortened week due to the Dragon Boat Festival holiday. Please note that final grades will be submitted before next Friday's scheduled test. Students will still write the test, but it will be for fun and practice only and will not affect their final grades. Thank you for your continued support throughout the school year. We are looking forward to finishing the year strong! Have a wonderful week!
