The date for Yinghua’s 2019 Chinese New Year performances at Bethel University has been changed to Saturday, February 2, 2019. The original date was one week later and had been shared with families on Yinghua’s one-page and 12-month calendars. Bethel University asked Yinghua to make this date change to accommodate a university
theater department performance. Though the date change is not ideal for Yinghua, we understand that as an educational institution, Bethel prioritizes the work of its student groups.

Because of the changed performance date, Yinghua has adjusted its February 2019 no­ school dates: There will be no classes (and the office will be closed) on Monday and Tuesday, February 4 and 5; however, Monday, February 11, will be a regular school
day for students and staff. The days off for 2019 President’s Day are unchanged: There is no school on Friday, February 15, and Monday, February 18.

At its regular meeting on October 15, 2018, the School Board voted to approve the revised 2018-19 calendar linked here: Yinghua 2018-19 Academic Calendar (revised).

It’s cold outside. Remember to send cold weather gear to school every day. Each child needs boots, gloves or mittens, a hat or hood, snow pants, and a coat.
