Farewell Dinner with Principal Lin

On Friday evening, July 25, the teachers attended a farewell dinner with Principal Lin, Helen Lee, and the host families at a traditional Taiwanese restaurant.  The principal expressed his thanks to the host families for their generosity in hosting the American teachers.  He presented a gift and framed certificate to each host family in appreciation!




Principal Lin also thanked each American teacher for teaching in the Summer English Program, and he presented each one with a gift and lovely framed photo certificate. 

A tremendous amount of planning, preparation, and daily monitoring is needed for a successful Summer English Program each year.  The American teachers thanked Principal Lin, Jerry and Ellie Fussell, and Mr. Shih for their capable, never-ending help in making the program what it is. Helen Lee was thanked for her coordination and overall directing of the program.  

 

Homeroom teachers Sandrine and Julia were also in attendance. The American teachers thanked them for their help with the San Sin students during the program.  Office assistant Jen Tsai was acknowledged for her work in preparing materials and certificates for the program as well.

Teaching in Taiwan is a life-changing experience for the American teachers, and they expressed their appreciation with gifts and hugs! Although the teachers will be miles apart from their Taiwanese families and friends, their hearts will remain in Taiwan with the truly wonderful people they have come to love and appreciate!
