Let’s MAKe a Difference – 2021-22 Annual Fund:

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

Our goal for this year’s Annual Fund is to raise 800,000 NT with a 100% participation rate from Monday, March 7th through Friday, May 20th, 2022.  We hope everyone can maximize this opportunity to “MAKe a Difference” for our school.  The Annual Fund will purchase school furniture to furnish the elementary, middle school, and high school common area spaces throughout the campus.

Here are the rooms we hope to furnish with new furniture:

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 towards 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

2021-22 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三月七日(一)到五月20日(五)期間,募得新台幣八十萬完整。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”。將使用年度基金來購買傢俱,為我們的小學、中學和高中的公共區域空間添購傢俱。

以下是我們預計重新裝潢擺入新購傢俱的空間:

From the HS Athletic Director

We are grateful that MAK has received permission to resume participating in athletic competitions. This means that our Men’s Volleyball Teams, Ladies Soccer Team, and Track & Field Team will be able to compete against other schools this season.  


Track and Field will have their first competition on March 8th @MAC for the annual Community Track & Field Meet.

Dear Students, Parents, and Staff,


Good news! We are going to change the deadline (and price) for the Talent Show tickets to Monday March 7th. There will no longer be early bird and regular tickets because of the unpredictable nature of Covid. 
Although we haven’t gotten any notices about cancelling activities for March yet, we want to minimize the inconvenience of reimbursing tickets for those who have already paid (in case the Talent Show gets canceled). 
The new ticket prices are as follows:

– Before March 7th: 300 NT

– On the day of: 400 NT


Sorry for the inconvenience that this may bring, and thank you for your understanding.
