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, or if you need a donation reciept, 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,或是需要捐贈收據,請聯繫學校的出納張康寧小姐

感謝您的慷慨支持!拼了! Sharks!

Starting March 3rd, MAK will once again be hosting “TGIF” – Thank God It’s Friday!

TGIF is an optional activity for students to attend from 3:30-5:30 on Friday afternoons. During TGIF, the middle school students will have the opportunity to spend time having fun as they grow in community and investing in reading the Bible more personally together.  The goal is for kids to have a less structured time to grow in their faith and enjoy God’s community at Morrison, or just learn more about God! We will have large organized games, chill social time, Bible study time, guest speakers… you name it!

The plan will be to run TGIF every Friday, with exceptions of conflicting events such as sport, concerts, and school half days. Occasionally, we will run larger events that will go further into the evening. Due to the Middle school hangout, that means that the second TGIF will be on March 17th.

Spiritual Life Week

ES Spiritual Life Week was an amazing time of worship, learning, and fellowship for students, parents, and staff! Students enjoyed the daily Chapels filled with worship, singing, activities, and learning; while parents came to the campus to attend the Parent Workshops. To end off the week, we had a special picnic lunch to celebrate our learning and growth! Special thanks to our guest speaker, Betty Chang, and all the staff who helped and served to make this week a success. It was truly a blessed and memorable time for everyone involved! Praise God! 

Here’s a video of some of the highlights of our SLW! Enjoy!
