Dear MAK Parents and Guardians,
Thank you for your generous and thoughtful donation to the 2022-23 Annual Fund. We truly appreciate your partnership, commitment, and generosity to Morrison Academy Kaohsiung. With your help, we renovated the Covered Play Area by building a new storage area and installing a new athletic surface. Also, a bouldering (rock climbing) wall that allows students to climb side to side was built. Finally, new and integrated audio-visual equipment was installed to enhance the space for elementary, middle school, and high school chapels. Again, thank you so much for your prayers, donations, and support! Proverbs 27:17 says, “As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.” As we partner and work together, we are indeed making MAK a better place for our students, staff, and community.
Thank you for MAKing a difference! We couldn’t have done it without you.
With a grateful heart,
Dr. Kim
親愛的高雄馬禮遜美國學校家長及監護們,
感謝您對 2022-23 年度基金 的慷慨捐贈與用心。我們衷心的感謝您的參與和付出,以及對高雄馬禮遜美國學校的慷慨。在您的愛心捐助下,我們在室內體育館(CPA)外加蓋了體育器材儲藏室,並把室內體育館的地板翻新成為適合運動的安全材質。此外,我們也安裝了室內攀岩牆,以供學生攀爬。最後,本校也安裝了完善的視聽設備,好讓小學,國中以及高中的學校崇拜有更廣闊的空間可以使用。再次感謝您的代禱、捐贈和支持!箴言 27 : 17 說:“鐵磨鐵,磨出刃來,朋友相感也是如此”。當我們一起攜手合作時,我們正在為學生、教職員工和社區打造一個更美好的高雄馬禮遜美國學校。
感謝您,「高雄馬禮遜美國學校」因著您變得不一樣!沒有您,我們就不可能辦到。
懷著一顆感恩的心,
校長 金德民 教育博士 敬謝

MAK DADS!
Mothers at Morrison Academy have many wonderful opportunities to get together throughout the school year. This past year, I was longing for the same for the fathers even with the understanding that many of the fathers are busy with work. I wanted to try to create a space for fathers to connect, to talk about their children, and pray for the Morrison community. Dads in Prayer provides opportunities, support, and resources for fathers to develop a heart of prayer for their children and families. It helps those fathers want to pray for their children but may not have much time or may not know how to. If you are a father with a heart for your children and would like to be part of Dads in Prayer at Morrison Academy, there will be a soft rollout of this new group NEXT Thursday, August 31st from 845am-10am in the HS Meeting Room. If you are interested, please email Simon Hsu at makdip2023@gmail.com with your name so that you can be included on our Dads in Prayer LINE group. Please come join us!
Tentative dates: 8/31, 9/21, 10/26, 11/30, 12/14
Dear Parents, We are so excited for another year of school and all the learning, growth, and fun that will take place in ES Chapel this year! This year, our ES Chapel theme is “Who is God?”. Each week, we’ll be looking at a different attribute, characteristic, or name of God and learning about who He is as revealed in the Bible. We’d love for you to join us as we sing, learn, and grow together in Chapel!
As usual, ES Chapel will be every Friday from 8:00am-8:40am, and is now in the newly renovated CPA! If you are interested in joining us, please do the following when you come to the school:
1) Park along Jiacheng road
2) Sign in at the office as a guest/visitor
3) Walk over to the Covered Play Area (CPA) and take a seat on the chairs at the back of the room
Hope to see you there! 🙂
