This is to update you that in compliance with all government Covid-19 regulations, student-athletes are no longer required to wear masks while competing/performing on the field or court.  However, any non-competing student-athletes who are on the sidelines will be required to wear masks.  This new guideline from the Ministry of Education (MOE) impacts elementary ASA sports, middle school sports, and high school sports.  Please note that students participating in recess and P.E. (physical education) classes will still be required to wear masks at all times.

In addition, staff and students are no longer required to wear masks while participating in chorus or wind instrument music classes.  

On behalf of the staff and teachers of MAK, thank you for your continued support and understanding as we strive to ensure a safe and secure learning environment for our students.  

謹此通知您，根據政府所有最新的防疫規定，學生運動員在賽場或球場上比賽/表演時不再需要佩戴口罩。但是任何未上場參賽的運動員，或是運動員一離場，皆必須佩戴口罩。教育部 (MOE) 的這項新指南影響了小學課後運動、中學運動和高中運動。請注意，學生在一般體育課以及下課時間，仍需全程佩戴口罩。

此外，教師和學生在合唱課或管樂課時，亦可不戴口罩。

感謝您在我們努力確保為學生提供安全可靠的學習環境時，一直以來的支持和理解。

Dear Parents,

Thank you!

Flu Shot

If you would like to get a flu shot for your child, you can pick up the forms at the front office. Once you receive the forms, read these instructions, be sure to fill them out completely, and bring your health insurance card to your local clinic to get your flu shot. (Does not apply to Kindergarten students, they will need to bring their health insurance card and yellow child health booklet to their local clinic)

Message from the Junior Class

USED AND NEW BOOK DRIVE!!  

This year, our Junior class will be utilizing our God given skills to set up a library for children in a small village in Pingtung County as a part of our Impact Program trip to serve others. By donating any used or new books to the community, it will represent a great act of service to help these villages by providing various genres of books that are suitable for ages 6-15. We hope to receive both English and Chinese books, but mainly Chinese books. There will be a box in the library and in the office between now and November 12 into which you can deposit books. Thank you so much for your generosity!  If you have any questions about this please contact Wade West westw@ma.org.tw.

書籍募捐

今年，我們的十一年級的學生將在他們的修業旅行期間到屏東縣恆春鎮附近的一個小村落打造一間兒童圖書館。為了豐富這間圖書館的館藏，我們接受舊書或新書的捐贈。我們希望募得書況良好，適合大約6-15歲的小學和中學生閱讀的中英文書籍。從現在到11月12日，我們將會在圖書館擺放一個箱子，您可以將欲捐贈的書籍放置其中。非常感謝您的慷慨捐書！如果對此活動有任何疑問，請聯繫Mr. Wade West (westw@ma.org.tw)。

Fiona Hsu’s 8th grade Ted Talk (she’s now a freshman) got chosen and featured by TedEd! Her Ted Talk on why she will never buy 1-ply toilet paper seems innocuous or silly at first but is absolutely worth the watch.
