Dear Parents and Guardians, 

I am writing this email to inform you that Morrison Academy will have a half day on Thursday, September 28th, 2023 for teachers’ professional learning.  The school will be dismissed at 11:30 AM, with the school buses leaving at 11:45 AM.  There will be no lunch during this half day.  This is a system-wide Professional Learning day for all teachers to meet, receive training, and learn from each other. 

Due to the half day falling on a Thursday, MAK will NOT have a late start.  Instead, classes will start at 8:00 am.  The school bus schedule will be adjusted to ensure that students are on time for the 8:00 am class start time.  Thank you for understanding and making the adjustments to this change.   

Sincerely, 

Dr. Kim

親愛的家長與監護人，

高雄馬禮遜美國學校將於 2023 年 9 月 28 日（星期四）下半天的時間進行教師專業教育培訓。因此，學校當天將於上午11:30 放學，而校車於上午 11:45 出發。學校當天將不會提供中餐。這是全體馬禮遜學校系統的專業教育培訓日，讓所有教師會集、接受培訓，並互相觀摩、學習。

由於星期四只有半天的上課時間，校方決定將當天上課時間調整到上午 8:00 開始，不會延遲開始。校車接送時刻表也將進行調整，以確保學生可以準時到校。

感謝您的理解與調整配合。

校長 金德民博士

敬上

Family Day has been moved to December 2, 2023 (11am-3pm)!

2023-24 Yearbook Photos

Last Friday in Assembly, ES had their annual Student Council election to select the president for the 2023-2024 school year. All the candidates (Elizabeth Tsai, Marc Lin, and Mercy Lee) did an incredible job with their campaign and speeches. In the end, it was a VERY close race, with final results separated by only a few votes. Congratulations to Elizabeth Tsai for winning the role of President and Mercy Lee for the role of Vice-President! 

Lastly, congratulations to Ethan Huang (GK), Boaz Hsu (G1), Queena Yang (G2), Chris Hsu (G4), Amber Pan (G5), Angel Hsin (G5), and Rachel Chen (G5) for winning the August Fruit of the Spirit Award for showing LOVE in action at MAK!

Hope to see parents and guardians at our future Chapels and Assemblies!

The Birthday Book Club (Due tomorrow 9/15!)

The Birthday Book Club is a fun way to honor your child’s birthday while supporting the school library! 
生日讀書俱樂部是一種有趣的方式來紀念您孩子的生日，同時支持學校圖書館！
If your child is in elementary school, he or she will receive an envelope for Birthday Book Club. If your child would like to participate, please fill out the form on the envelope and return it to your child’s teacher with 500 nt before September 15.
您的孩子將收到生日讀書俱樂部的信封。如果您的孩子想參加，請填寫信封上的表格，並在 9 月 15 日之前將其連同 500 新台幣一起寄給您孩子的老師。
MS and HS students will not receive an envelope, but they may also participate. If they are interested, they may register with Ms. Shaffner in the library.
國高中生不會收到信封，可是也能參加。如果他們有興趣，可以跟Ms. Shaffner 註冊.

With your 500 NT donation to the library your child will get to…

• choose a NEW book for the library and have a special name plate and picture placed in the front of that book. This book will be located in the library and students love finding their own “Birthday Book Club Book” in the library in the years to come. 
• be the first to check out and enjoy the new book.
• have a special birthday treat as a thank you for participating in the birthday book club!

通過您向圖書館捐款 500 新台幣，您的孩子將獲得...
- 為圖書館選擇一本新書，並在該書的前面放置一個特殊的銘牌和圖片。這本書將位於圖書館，學生們喜歡在未來的幾年裡在圖書館找到自己的“生日讀書俱樂部書籍”。
- 成為第一個查看並享受這本新書的人。
- 享受特別的生日禮物，以感謝您參加生日讀書俱樂部！
