Introducing Raey Guang Elementary–Our Sister School

Raey Guang Elementary School is located in Pingtung, a city in the southern portion of Taiwan. The school is situated in an urban area, and considered to be “medium” sized. There are 36 classes, grades 1-6. A total of 1,200 students attend the school, taught by a faculty of 64. (Comparison to Georgetown….20 classes, grades PK-5, 571 students, 20 Pk-5 teachers.)

Chung Wen Yu is the principal, and she is assisted by five directors. These directors handle curriculum, counseling, student affairs, and a variety of other duties. Raey Guang has received two distinguished certifications from the Ministry of Education for recognition of teachers who integrate informational technology into the classrooms.

Parents of the school children come from a higher socioeconomic background and place great importance on their children’s education and academic performance. To find out more about Taiwan and the educational system, click on Taiwan Education.

Doors will be unlocked at 6:30 pm.  Please do not arrive prior to this time period.  Each class will have an assigned drop off location, and these details will come home the week after Thanksgiving.

Georgetown Thoughts and Prayers

I would like to ask you to keep two very important Georgetown family members in your thoughts and prayers. Mrs. Lisa Kuieck will be undergoing surgery in Ann Arbor, University of Michigan Hospital, early Monday morning.  This surgery is being done to remove a benign tumor from her pituitary gland.  Mrs. Kuieck has been treated for this during the past year.  Mrs. Karyn McIntire will be her substitute teacher through December 1.

Another very important person to hold in your thoughts and prayers is Jared Mills, our brave and confident 3rd grade student.  Jared will be undergoing surgery to remove a cancerous tumor from his optic nerve. The surgery will take place Monday morning, and Jared will be recovering for 4 weeks.  His parents posted a Q & A about Jared’s surgery on their Care Page.  It is outstanding in terms of content and touching in terms of our their unique ability to care for us while they are caring for Jared.  To read this post, visit carepages.com

Thank you for your patience while we sort through the winning bids for the Time and Talent Auction.     Mrs. Burdis and Mrs. Walenta worked to be 100% accurate with the time of the bid submissions and the highest bid for each item.

The winners are listed in the pdf document: Time and Talent Winners

The entire staff would like to extend their gratitude to you for participating in this important event. The money earned goes toward establishing a science scholarship to be awarded each year, beginning in 2016 (the year Grace would have graduated from HHS).  This fundraiser has earned over $2000.00.

Your support means so much to us…and the Thatchers.
