We hope that you all enjoyed the Thankgiving break. Thanksgiving is a very special time of year in America, and as an American school in Qingdao, QISS follows both Western and Chinese holiday traditions.

This week our school has been abuzz with student preparing for the Winter Program and Quarter 2 Key Assignments, which are only two weeks away. Another special event that is only one week away, is the Holiday Gala. Don’t miss out on your tickets to this fun PTA party!

 QISS PTA Holiday Gala Reminder

Dear Parents, 亲爱的家长们 학부모님께,

This letter is a reminder about the PTA Holiday Gala that is happening next Saturday (December 10th) at the Shangri-La hotel.

这封信是为了再次通知大家,我们的PTA圣诞晚宴将在下周六12月10日晚在香格里拉酒店举行。

다음주 토요일(12월10일) 샹그리라에서 열리는 갈라연회 공지문입니다.

The Holiday Gala is an annual charity event run by the PTA and a committee of QISS teachers. The aim is for teachers, parents and members of the QISS community to come together for a fun party, while also raising some money for the PTA.

圣诞晚宴是我们的年度慈善活动,由PTA(家校委员会)和学校教师委员会共同筹办。我们的目的是邀请教师,家长和学校社区成员们共聚一堂,在圣诞晚宴中尽享欢乐,同时我们也会借活动之机为PTA进行筹款。

갈라연회는 PTA주관으로 열리는 연례 기부행사입니다. 본 연회의 목적은 교사,학부모 그리고 QISS의 직원들이 함께모여 즐거운시간을 보내며고 PTA기금모음을 위한 행사입니다.

This year’s Holiday Gala will be very special. Unlike past years, there will be no fashion show. Instead, we have a live band playing throughout the night, party games, an auction with amazing items to buy, and a raffle with incredible prizes. The proceeds of the Gala are used by the PTA to help charities. This year, the PTA will support a local school in the Jimo countryside.

今年的圣诞晚宴非常特别。与往年不同的是,我们取消了模特秀。取而代之的是乐队的整晚现场表演,派对游戏,商品拍卖以及奖券抽大礼活动。PTA会将收入的全部款项用作捐助和进行慈善活动。今年, 他们会捐助一所即墨乡下的希望小学。

올해 행사는 그 어느때보다 특별합니다. 지난해들과는 달리 패션쇼 행사가 없습니다. 그대신 저희는 보다 즐거운시간을 갖기 위해 파티를 더욱 멋지게 이끌어준 음악을 선사할 공연과 파티게임, 좋은 아이템들로 구성된 경매행사, 그리고 놀랄만한 행운의 추첨이 기다리고 있습니다. 갈라의 수익금은 PTA의 기부지원에 쓰이게 됩니다. 올해 PTA는 지모외곽에 있는 중국로컬학교를 지원할 예정입니다.

The theme of the event is USA 1920’s “Great Gatsby”, so we encourage participants to get dressed up in that theme, but that is completely optional. As a formal gala function, “formal” attire is recommended. We will have accessories for the ladies available at the event.

本场活动的主题是回溯到美国上世纪20年代,就像电影“了不起的盖茨比”一样,所以我们鼓励大家穿着契合活动主题的服饰,这是我们给大家的选择之一。作为正式的晚宴,我们强烈推荐大家准备正式的宴会服装。我们也将在当晚晚宴现场为女士们准备一些配饰。

올해 갈라의 주제는 미국 1920년대의 “위대한 개츠비” 이며, 주제에 맞는 복장을 준비해주시길 권하고 있으나 이것은 반드시 준비하셔야할 필수사항이 아님을 알려드립니다. 다만 갈라연회 행사이기에 복장을 연회복장으로 준비해주시길 바라며 연회 당일 현장에서 주제에 맞는 악세사리들을 준비해 놓아 이용하실수 있도록 준비하겠습니다.

So please contact the school on 0532-6889-8888 and ask to purchase a gala ticket. You can send the money to school with your child, or come in person to buy the ticket yourself.

如果您想出席我们本年度的晚宴,请致电学校0532-6889-8888来购买门票。您也可以让孩子把票款带来或者是亲自前来学校进行购买。

갈라티켓을 구매하실 분들은 학교 대표전화0532-6889-8888 연락주시기 바랍니다. 학생을 통해 구매를 하거나 직접 방문하셔서 구매하실수 있습니다.

This will be a night to remember, so don’t miss out!

这必将会是一个难忘之夜,敬请期待,请勿错过!

좋은 기억을 만들어줄 갈라연회에 여러분의 많은 참여 부탁드리겠습니다!

~ From the Holiday Gala Committee
