親愛的家長、老師與同學們 Dear Parents, Teachers, and Students:
日光節約時間到本周日截止，請大家不要忘記把時間撥回一個小時哦。
Daylight saving time ends this Sunday. Please remember to wind your clock back an hour.
感謝家長們熱心參予新版教科書的評鑑及意見調查，學校收回近三十份調查表，除三份希望維持現狀外，其餘的家長大多希望學校從下學期就開始採用新版教科書。校務人員將儘速與書商及授課老師們資詢後，再向家長們報告。
School appreciates involvement of many parents in the evaluation and survey of the new textbook. Approximately thirty survey forms were returned; all except three wanted to switch to the new textbook beginning next semester. After school staff contact the publisher and discuss with teachers, school will inform parents about the final decision and implementation process.

證嚴上人的叮嚀與靜思語 Master Cheng Yen’s Teaching and Jing-Si Aphorisms:
• 如果人人能將自己的愛心奉獻出來，眾志成城、聚沙成塔，就變成很大的力量，還怕什麼事情做不到呢？
If individuals can devote their love and passion together, such accumulated efforts can amount to enormous power that can accomplish any things.
• 要將凡夫心轉向聖人心，最重要是要「慈悲喜捨」。
Compassion and giving are what makes an ordinary person to become a saint.
• 能為人群付出，就是智慧，也是發揮生命良能。
Contributing to the humankind leads growth of wisdom and development of full potential.
• 修行要先堅固信心，才能穩定精進。
Strong confidence enables us to be steadfast on the way to enlightenment.
• 人生三寶：腳走好路，手做好事，口說好話。
Three principles of life: follow the right path, do good deeds, and speak kind words.
