Happy New Year, BVCS Family! I hope your break was filled with joy and relaxation.
As we step into the bright possibilities of 2025, I’m excited to begin the second half of the school
year with all of you. Our mission remains strong on nurturing the love for learning Chinese
language and culture and inspiring our students to grow into their best selves.
With the Year of the Snake approaching, preparations for our Lunar New Year
Celebration are well underway! Following the Martin Luther King break, we will dive into
rehearsals to ensure that this year’s celebration is as spectacular as it could be. Mark
your calendars for our celebration, which is set for
Saturday, February 8, 2025, at Gale Ranch Middle School in
San Ramon.
Please note, there will be no classroom instruction on Friday, February 7, 2025. The
lesson planned for February 7 has been scheduled to Saturday, February 8, 2025. This
day will serve as a cultural lesson as part of our comprehensive educational approach.
February 8 is considered a school day, and all students and teachers are expected to
attend the Lunar New Year celebration as it reflects our commitment to integrating
tradition and cultural understanding into education.
This new year offers exciting opportunities for growth and transformation, echoing the Year of
the Snake’s themes of renewal and wisdom. We value and encourage parents’ involvement and
warmly invite you to partner with us in making this journey enriching and rewarding for our
children.
Together, we’ll make 2025 an incredible year!
Shirley Lin, Principal
