🌕 Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
This Friday marks the 15th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar—the Mid-Autumn Festival!
The Mid-Autumn Festival is a cherished traditional Chinese holiday that celebrates family reunion, togetherness, and gratitude. On this special occasion, BVCS wishes all of our families a joyful time together. May you enjoy mooncakes, admire the full moon, and share the beautiful traditions and stories of this special holiday with your children.
To celebrate, we are happy to share two special video versions of the classic Chinese legend "Chang é Flies to the Moon"—one in Chinese and one in English. These videos were lovingly created by Evelyne Chang, Chairwoman of Bay Valley Chinese School, and are a wonderful way for families to enjoy a classic Chinese legend together while learning more about Chinese culture. ❤️❤️

May the full moon bring your family together and fill your home with happiness, warmth, and love.
Wishing all our BVCS families a joyful and peaceful Mid-Autumn Festival!
🌸 9/28 教師節｜向每一位用心教學的老師致敬
每年的
9月28日是孔子誕辰紀念日 。孔子是中國歷史上重要的思想家與教育家，一生致力於教育，主張「有教無類」，並以教育培育人才、傳承文化，對後世的教育思想產生深遠影響。後人尊稱孔子為「萬世師表」，象徵教師以身作則、誨人不倦的精神。
為了彰顯孔子尊師重道、熱心教育的精神，臺灣將9月28日訂為
教師節
，藉此向所有辛勤耕耘、用心陪伴學生學習與成長的老師們表達敬意與感謝。 🌷
今年教師節，灣谷也有幾個令人開心的好消息要與大家分享！
首先，本校
廖麗華老師及張瀞文老師榮獲北加州中文學校聯合會「優良教師」表揚
，這份肯定不僅是對廖老師及張老師教學熱忱與辛勤付出的鼓勵，也是灣谷全體教師的榮耀。讓我們一起為她們鼓掌喝采！ 👏👏
此外，也要恭喜本校三位優秀助教——
王品蘊、莫宇坤、洪千詠，獲頒齊魯會館獎學金！🎓
在這個特別的日子裡，我們也要向灣谷每一位老師說一聲：
謝謝您們用心備課、耐心教學，用愛陪伴孩子們學習中文、認識文化，一步一步成長。正因為有每一位老師的投入與堅持，才能讓「快樂學中文」成為灣谷校園裡最溫暖的風景。
🌷 祝灣谷所有老師——教師節快樂！
謝謝您們，辛苦了！ ❤️❤️
🌸 September 28 — Happy Teachers' Day!
September 28 marks the birthday anniversary of Confucius, one of the most influential thinkers and educators in Chinese history. Confucius devoted his life to education and believed that everyone should have the opportunity to learn. His dedication to teaching and his influence on education have earned him the honored title of "Teacher of All Ages".
To honor Confucius and celebrate the spirit of teaching, learning, and respect for educators, Taiwan designated September 28 as Teachers' Day. It is a special occasion to express our appreciation for teachers who dedicate their time, energy, and hearts to guiding and inspiring their students. 🌷
This year, BVCS is especially proud to celebrate several wonderful achievements!
First, Ms. Li Hua Liao and Ms. Vicky Chang have been honored as Outstanding Teachers by the Association of Northern California Chinese Schools. This recognition celebrates their dedication to teaching and their heartfelt commitment to the students. Please join us in giving Ms. Liao and Ms. Chang a big round of applause! 👏👏
We would also like to congratulate three of our outstanding TAs—Emily Wang, Aiden Mok, and Irene Hung—on receiving the San Dong Association Scholarship Award! 🎓
And to all of our wonderful BVCS teachers, thank you for your dedication, patience, and care. Thank you for inspiring our students to learn Chinese, discover Chinese culture, and grow with confidence every step of the way. Because of each and every one of you, "Happy Learning Chinese" comes to life throughout our school community.
🌷 Happy Teachers' Day to all our BVCS teachers!
Thank you for all that you do! ❤️❤️
