New changes in the school

Dear Parents of TzuChi Academy,
You probably already noticed there are some changes in this semester for the school.
Though we have more classes and more students, our dedication and commitment to both Chinese and character educations remain the same.
We will continue to promote the values of gratitude, respect, and love.
In respect of the Earth, this semester we like to implement some changes to reduce the use of natural resources and minimize the waste.

The first change is that homework sheets will be printed with used papers(meaning the back of the paper usually has something not related to the homework) as much as possible.  
Please let the teachers or staffs know if that causes some confusions for kids.

Your child probably already told you that there is no more juice provided during the snack time.
We think water is a much healthier option and it will reduce the burdens to our parents who prepare the snacks and the staff who clean the floor.
However, with that change, our teachers observe the unnecessary waste of paper cups as well.

Therefore, we would like to make another change to encourage parents to prepare a reusable water cup (or bottle) for each one of your child.  Preferably something not breakable. 
We will continue to prepare drinking water and paper cups every Sunday.  
However, we hope that only those students who forget to bring their own cups/bottles use the paper cups.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding, and let us know if you have any doubt or suggestion.

By the way, don't forget to dress up your kids with costumes this Sunday as well. 
Happy Halloween.
