This is a competitive and fun event participated by many Chinese Schools of the New Jersey state. We hope that many UCS members can support the school by participating in this event and wearing our new T-shirts. It will show our UCS spirit and unity to the other Chinese Schools!

今年ANJCS/CACA聯合舉辦的運動會及園遊會,將於五月十九日(週日)一時至六時,在東布朗士維克高中舉行.這是一個由新澤西州許多中文學校(大約十所左右),來參加的既競爭(運動會),又好玩(園遊會) 的活動.希望本校的師生及義工家長們,都可來參加此一活動.並穿上本校的新的T-恤,以表示對本校的支持.穿上它代表著向他校展示本校的精神及團結.

6. The ticket for 5/19 Fun Day event is on sale now. Each ticket is sold at $0.50 a piece but when purchased $10.00 in advance you get 22 tickets (instead of 20 tickets). Please contact Johnny Wu to buy the tickets. UCS has a total of 50 packs (each pack contains 22 tickets for $10.00) for sale. FCFS (first come first serve) basis until tickets are gone (most likely we can sell all tickets this time due to many attendants for the sports competition). Thanks.

五月十九園遊會餐券，本週開始發售，零售每張五毛錢。但事先買十元，可得二十二張(而不是二十張) ，請向吳江名購買。本校被分配了五十組，(每組二十二張，十元)先到先買，賣完為止。(由於此次本校參加運動會者人數頗多，很可能五十組都會賣完)謝謝!

7. We have received good responses to the Sports Competition on 5/19. However, due to the limitation that each school can attend for each race (limit 2 people for each individual race, and 4 people/ 1 team for each relay), there will be a race to select students who will represent UCS. It will be held at 10:50 A.M. (after language class is ended) on 5/4. The rest can be the ‘back-up’ people and can still get our school T-shirt for free. For ‘tug of war’ competition, we need more adults (both male and female) or students (15 year old and above) to attend. Each team needs at least 7 females (so at most 8 males) and we need at least 2 males and 2 females now.

學生報名參加五月十九日的運動會,情況相當踴躍.然而,因為各校各項參賽名額,都有限制(單項二人為限,接力賽每校每一項目,只組一隊四人),我們必須選擇最好的選手來參賽.為此,我們將於報名的學生中間,於五月四日十時五十分(語文課結束之後),在操場舉行一個小型的選拔比賽,並選出成績最好的二名選手,代表本校參加比賽.沒被選上的人,為備取選手,一樣可以去參加運動會,及獲得免費的T-恤. 拔河比賽人數還不足,至少還要二男二女,(成人或十五歲以上的學生,或男女校友)請踴躍報名.

8. This year’s UCS Yearbook will include dedication pages. Parents who are interested to put a 3” x 4” dedication to acknowledge students’ hard work and achievement, please submit the text and/or artwork to Inhou Chu at inhou@yahoo.com and a payment of $10.

今年的年刊,將開放家長留言頁,有興趣的家長們,可以提供1/4頁(3” x 4”) 的留言,用來勉勵子女(學生) 們的辛勤工作及成就,每則十美元.請將留言及照片(連同收費),交給朱英豪.他的電郵地址如上所示.
