However, there is a big issue last Sunday. Some parents and teachers didn’t follow the rules and brought food inside auditorium. After the show, we found there were so many crumbs and scraps of cracker, chips, and pretzels under the chairs and paper all over. It took us a long time to clean them up. It is not acceptable. Please bring your child out of the auditorium to eat if they needed next time when we use the auditorium.

2.        Changes of the Guanghua Leadership Team: Our beloved deputy principal Lijun Zhang has made a decision to retire from the leadership team after she dedicated to the cultural and sports classes at Guanghua and was responsible for all the performance in the communities, including big event of Guanghua--our annual Chinese New Year Gala for last eight years.
