For any elementary school students who cannot make the weekend sessions, or would like the extra language reinforcement during the week, please register ASAP! 阅读我们的公告传单并提前购买我们中文学校的新T恤！最紧迫的是课后时间的俱乐部（辅导/阅读/唱歌课程）的注册截止日期即将到来：2025 年 1 月1 3 日！如果无法参加周末课程或希望在工作日期间也能进行额外语言强化的小学生，请尽快注册！
Wish you were able to pick up (or offload) some Chinese books/learning materials? Please come do so at the NEXT party!! 遗憾错过了我们中文材料交换的机会？咱们下次聚会，每次聚会，都会提供教材交换的机会！
