Summer Camp & Fall 2025 Updates 夏令营及秋季新闻
Summer Camp begins July 28! New School Year, New Programs, New Celebration！夏令营7月28即将开始！新的学年，新的项目，新的庆祝！
Dear Families,
This time last year, we had just launched our first after school program, and now we’ve taught on 5 campuses, and planning to partner with 3 more local elementary schools come Fall! And we haven’t even ventured south of downtown Santa Barbara, or beyond. After wrapping up my first full school year with you all, I’m filled with gratitude, hope, and joy for all that we’ve accomplished over the last academic year.
Those of you who attended the End-of-Term Potluck last month may recall that we handed out certificates and acknowledged our students for their accomplishments. That said, our teachers and TAs do want to encourage you all to continue revisiting your respective level’s shared folders in Google Drive to review the lessons learned over the summer.
If you’d like to revisit some highlights from the past Winter+Spring term, please put this photo album on autoplay with some background music.
FINAL Reminder: Summer Camp to Begin on July 28!
Brush up on Mandarin with our full-immersion summer camp that runs from 8:30am to 4:30pm starting July 28! In about 3 weeks, we will launch our much-anticipated summer session. Come join us on a performance-based journey at Notre Dame School, and/or cool down during the summer heat at Ice in Paradise. For more information and to sign up, please visit www.SBChineseSchool.org/CAMPS.
Fall 2025 Weekend Sessions To Begin September 20
Summer Camp ends mid-August. Then we will open up registration for Fall weekend sessions, which will begin weekend of September 20. Please stay tuned for our registration announcement or keep checking back at www.SBChineseSchool.org/WEEKENDS.
Given how important good food and good health is to our community, we will gradually be sprinkling more topics around eating, cooking, and nutrition into our curriculum. We will start piloting those programs as we garden during Notre Dame’s summer session.
Calling SBCS Historians & Vendors
As we plan for Mid-Autumn Festival celebrations this Fall, we will also be celebrating a milestone 40th anniversary for SB Chinese School! Can you believe it has been 40 years?? If you have a story to tell about SB Chinese School’s history, please reach out. If you’d like to help us make this celebration a truly memorable one, please reach out.
Have a wonderful Fourth of July and cheers to the second half of 2025!
With warm wishes,
Principal Jenny and the SBCS Team
亲爱的中文学校家庭，
还记得去年的这个时候，我刚刚开始推出课后中文课程，而现在，我们已经走进了5所学校的校园，并计划在秋季和另外3所本地小学合作开课！
作为我和大家一起走过的第一个完整学年，这一年让我充满了感激、希望和喜悦。能和你们一起努力、一起成长，我们真的取得了很多成果！
上个月参加了学期末百乐餐活动的家长和学生，应该还记得我们当时为孩子们颁发了证书，表扬他们在这段时间里的努力和进步。虽然暑假开始了，我们的老师和助教们还是鼓励大家有空时多看看她们分享的 Google Drive 文件夹，复习一下平时上课学到的内容，把中文慢慢巩固下来。
如果你想回顾一下今年冬春学期的精彩片段，不妨配上点音乐，把这个相册放成自动播放，好好回味一下吧！
最后提醒：夏令营7月28日正式开始！
我们的全日制中文沉浸式夏令营将在7月28日开营，每天早上8:30到下午4:30结束。还有不到三周就要开始啦！快来加入我们，在 Notre Dame School 体验以表演为主题的夏日学习之旅，或在 Ice in Paradise 清凉一下！详情和报名请访问：www.SBChineseSchool.org/CAMPS.
2025年秋季周末班 9月20日开始
夏令营将在8月中旬结束，之后我们会开放秋季周末班的报名，课程将在9月20日那个周末开始。请留意我们的报名通知，或者可以随时查看：www.SBChineseSchool.org/WEEKENDS.
民以食为天：我们会慢慢把更多相关主题融入我们的课程中。这个暑假，我们将在 Notre Dame School 一边种菜、一边试点新的中文健康饮食课程。欢迎大家一起参与及提议！
寻找 SBCS 小小“历史学家”！
今年秋季中秋节，我们也将迎来一个特别的时刻——Santa Barbara 中文学校 40 周年啦！如果你有关于中文学校的回忆、故事，欢迎跟我们联系；如果你想帮忙一起筹办这次特别的庆祝活动，也欢迎跟我们联系！
独立日快乐！让我们一起迎接 2025 年的下半程！
诚挚祝福，
余捷校长及SB中文学校团队
