New York Chinese School 2018 Storytelling Contest
2018年華僑學校講故事比賽開鑼
2018年紐約華僑學校講故事比賽於今(一）日在該校五樓體育館舉行，參賽學生分四梯次，區分一年級至三年級、四年級至六年級、初中組及高中組。此次參賽者計56位同學，在全校師生共同努力下，同學們一一展現辛苦演練的成果，背誦如流，生動活潑的展現，贏得台下家長及同學們無數的掌聲。

參賽者均自信滿滿地展現自我實力。初中組Selina Mei 題目為感恩，其中提到其爸媽為新移民家庭，家長日夜不繼的辛勤工作，讓人感動萬分。另目前在華僑學校學習中文的五姐妹之一高中組Lee Berat 感恩母愛，提到由於其母親為了要讓他們學習到中華文化，所以她們姊妹們從小沉浸於中文，讓她有機會瞭解東方文化之美，她非常感恩她的媽媽。

校長王憲筠認為學習中文本來就是很困難的事，甚至對於沒有任何中文基礎各族裔小孩子們更是困難。能夠上台已經相當不容易了，所以這一次每一位上台的小孩子都需要鼓勵與讚美。不在乎得名，而在乎提升學習中文的興趣；在她認為只要是參賽者，人人都是第一名，因此除了前三名外，優等獎以資鼓勵。王憲筠並表示，營造快樂的學習環境是該校目前重點工作之一，而如何提升學生學習中文的興趣更是華僑學校最迫切的努力方向。本年度講故事比賽活動，獲得全校師生及家長的熱烈參與，活動圓滿成功。

The New York Chinese School Storytelling/Speech Contest was held on Sunday, December 1st at our Fifth Floor Gymnasium. Fifty-six students divided into four divisions (first through third grade, fourth through sixth, middle school, and high school) competed for first, second, third, and honorary mention, respectively. Following countless hours of memorization, practice, and guidance from their instructors, participants shared their stories with an anticipative body of parents, fellow peers, and administrative faculty. Each performance was met with fanfare—an expression of acknowledgment to each courageous student willing to grace the stage.

Following the contest theme of "Thanksgiving," Selina Mei of the middle school division voiced her appreciation for her immigrant parents who worked tirelessly to provide for her education. Lee Berat of the high school division, whose four siblings are also enrolled in New York Chinese School, expressed her eternal gratitude to her mother who afforded them the opportunity to appreciate the beauty and mystique of Chinese culture and education from an early age.

Principal Wang believes learning the Chinese language is an inherently challenging endeavor, much less learning it as a second language. Therefore, she believes every student who took to the stage is worthy of praise and encouragement. Moreover, the purpose of the event transcends competition, principally serving to reinforce or pique children's interest in Chinese culture and language. Principal Wang regards positive learning environment, value-creation, and by extension, methods to pique interest in the language and culture as paramount to her strategic vision and direction.

All things considering, the 2018 Storytelling/Speech contest was well attended and received by parents, faculty, and peers alike.
