🎉🎉Bay Valley Ice Cream Social Day - A Flurry of Fun and Cultural Experience🎉🎉

Last Friday’s Ice-Cream Social was a huge success!
Thanks to our volunteers and staff for their detailed coordination behind the scenes! Thanks to our teaching assistants who assiduously served up three different flavors of ice-cream, and energetically performed the lion dance and the Taiwanese Third Prince (Nezha) Techno Dance.
Rhythmic and resonating drumbeats churned up the festive ambience and drew a crowd of young ones and parents to join the dance with the mini lion heads and the Nezha's Qiankun rings.
At the backdrop of this one-of-a-kind Chinese cultural experience, we officially kicked off an exciting academic year!

We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude for your interest in our school. As the enrollment period has ended, we no longer accept new registrations. For those who wish to join the Bay Valley family, please plan ahead next year and stay connected with us through our website and mailing list for updates. (Next enrollment opens in May 2024.)

❤️ 校長的話

日落前的艷陽下, 發燙的鐵門前, 棗紅色的人兒點點。
穿梭著, 爬高, 俯身:笑談著, 擺設, 盤點。
兔子耳朵, 豎著, 彎著, 那棗紅色的人兒, 陽光下, 美麗的焦點;

鑼鼓, 喧天吵; 沸騰, 人聲鬧!
少年們奮力舞獅, 帶動電音舞蹈; 大人們歡呼鼓掌, 相機捕捉美好。
冰淇淋, 甜甜的, 融化在嘴裡; 文化, 震撼的, 融化在血液裡。

汗濕衣襟, 腿酸了, 腰痛了, 聲音啞了;
下課鈴響, 吆喝著, 叮嚀著, 擁抱晚安;
夜幕低垂, 收拾細軟, 喧嘩後, 安靜著;
月兒彎彎, 微風徐徐, 夜色中, 回憶著。

致, 親愛的灣谷夥伴, 同仁, 義工家長! 謝謝您, 刻在我心裡的美好。❤️

❤️ Principal's Message

Under the radiant sun before dusk, in front of the heated iron gate, the maroon-red figures appear here and there.
Moving around, climbing high, bending low: chit-chatting, setting up, taking stock.
Plush rabbit ears, standing up, bending over—those maroon-red figures, under the sunbeams, converge as the focal points of beauty.

Drums and gongs, roaring loud; conversation and laughter, rumbling up!
The youth vigorously dance with the lion heads, leading the electronic rave.
Adults cheer and applaud, cameras capturing the memorable moments.
Ice cream, sweet, melting in the mouth; culture, breathtaking, melting into the blood.

Sweat-dampened clothing, weary legs, aching backs, hoarse voice.
Dismissal bell ringing, calling out, counseling, embracing goodnight.
Night falls, packing up; hustle and bustle retreats, peace and quiet seeping in.
The crescent moon, gentle breeze, under the night’s shroud, reminiscing.

Kudos to our Bay Valley partners, colleagues, and volunteers!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. ❤️

Sincerely,
Noya Lee
Principal
