We will have seats reserved for the guests, event sponsors and all students.  Please follow the signs to take the seats.  Each class needs a couple of parent volunteers to help the teacher.  Please let your child teacher know if you can help.  Thanks.

Of course, we will also have our traditional raffle lottery drawing at the Celebration.  The award includes restaurant gift certificates, household items donated by friends of CCLS, and more.  The Raffle ticket can be purchased at office during our School days of 1/23, 30, as well as before celebration starts on 2/06.  $1.00 for one ticket, $5 for six tickets.  The fund raised from raffle tickets will be used for our school activities.

Please feel free to invite your friends, relatives, or neighbors to join our celebration. This is a good opportunity to show our school and Chinese culture to people and communities.  All are welcome!  We are looking forward to seeing you all in the celebration!

Finally, please help to spread this to all our parents in case they do not receive the e-mail.
