2022-2023 MAK Annual Fund

Dear MAK Parents and Guardians,

The Annual Fund is an exciting time when we can come together as a community to enhance our students’ learning experience and environment.  By working together, the Annual Fund is an opportunity for our community to give generously and take ownership of the school facilities.  

Our goal for this year’s Annual Fund is to raise 1,000,000 NT with a 100% participation rate from Monday, February 6th through Friday, April 28th, 2023.  We hope everyone can maximize this opportunity to “MAKe a Difference” for our school.  The Annual Fund will renovate and update the Covered Play Area (CPA).

In renovating the CPA, the goal will be to make the space more usable and functional by adding the following: 

  1. New acrylic athletic surface for P.E., ASA, MS/HS athletics (i.e., significantly less dust)
  2. Storage for P.E. Equipment 
  3. Audio and visual improvements for chapel and staff orientations
  4. “And More”

Please pray and consider how you would like to contribute to this year’s Annual Fund.  We appreciate all and any contributions made by our community.  If you have any questions about giving to the Annual Fund, please contact the school’s cashier, Ms. Connie Chang.   

Thank you for your generous support – Let’s Go, Sharks!

Sincerely, 

Dr. Kim

2022-23 年度基金計畫

年度基金計畫是一個激動人心的時刻,是我們可以一同參與在提高我們學生的學習體驗和環境的事工計畫。年度基金實實在在是我們全體可以慷慨地給予和獲得完善學校設施所有權的大好時機。

我們今年的年度基金計劃目標是希望能在2月6日(一)到4月28日(五)期間,募得新台幣一百萬元整。我們期盼每個人都能好好利用這個機會,為我們學校“MAKe a Difference”。將使用年度基金來裝潢及改善 Covered Play Area (CPA)。

以下是我們預計重新裝潢並擺入新購傢俱的空間:

  1. 體育館(CPA)將換新地板給體育課, ASA, 國高中 (像減少灰塵)
  2. 收納體育器材
  3. 學校做禮拜還有老師會議場所的視聽改善

請為本年度基金計劃禱告並糗考慮您想如何為今年的年度基金捐款。我們非常感謝您的擺上。如果您對年度基金捐款計畫有任何疑問,請聯繫學校的出納張康寧小姐

感謝您的慷慨支持!拼了! Sharks!

校長 金德民 教育博士  敬謝

*一如往常,請自由參與及捐款。

Sincerely, 

Dr. Kim

This week is Elementary’s Spiritual Life Week! On Friday (2/17), we will have a Picnic Lunch to celebrate our learning and growth! The school lunch vendors will be providing students with picnic-friendly lunches. No cutlery is needed on this day. If your child brings lunch to school, please pack a picnic lunch that is easy to eat outdoors on a picnic blanket and does not need to be warmed up. Your child may also bring a picnic blanket to use at lunch time. Please label the blanket with your child’s name. Thank you! 

On March 2-3, our high school strings students will be going to Morrison Academy Taipei for an orchestra festival. Parents, we would like to especially welcome you to join us at the concert on Friday. Please contact Miss Mai jojo.mai@ma.org.tw if you have any questions.

This past week we had Sarah Brennan come visit MAK. She read her books to the students, talked about the process of publishing, and her experience becoming an author. It was a pleasure to have her come and share her experiences with us.

For those of you who ordered books, they did not arrive in time for her to sign them however she will be sending us custom name plates for each book. We will stick them in the books and get them to your child ASAP. Thank you for your understanding.

The MAK HS Art Club and the MAK HS Photography Club are collaborating to host the Annual Spring Visual Art Competition! This year’s theme is open ended. The top 3 place winners of the art competition will be awarded to ES, MS, and HS. The Exhibition will be held on March 24, the day of the Parent Teacher Conference. 

All mediums are welcomed but photographs will be judged separately by the Photography Club. Students, please submit your works to Mrs. Newkirk, Hope Yang (12), Daisy Chuang (10) by 2/20. If there are any concerns, please contact MAK HS Art Club at makartclub@mca.org.tw. Thank you! 

Photography Club will be sponsoring the Photo Contest portion of the Visual Arts competition. Photos can be submitted via Google Forms and will be printed and mounted by the Photography Club. All participants will receive the physical copy of their photo after the competition is over. 

馬禮遜高中美術社和攝影社今年將合作舉辦春季視覺藝術比賽 !今年沒有主題,請學生們自由發揮。作品會在3/24,家長座談會當天展示,家長們要記得來看喔!學生們的美術作品和攝影作品將分開比賽和排名。攝影社會將學生們的作品印出來展覽,並且比賽結束會贈送給學生。如果要參加攝影比賽,請於這裡報名。美術作品請在2/20之前交給 Mrs. Newkirk, Hope Yang (12), Daisy Chuang (10)即可參加。若有任何問題,請洽:makartclub@mca.org.tw
