Farewell Dinner with Host Families: July 30

On Friday, July 30, a Farewell Dinner was held at the Hotel Kingdom to show appreciation to the host families and to the American student teachers. The host families showed tremendous hospitality and kindness to the visiting American student teachers.  In addition, Mrs. Helen Lie and Mr. Shih were presented with gifts and many hugs of appreciation!

Each host family received a digital photo viewer with many pictures of the student teachers.  Helen Lie presented each student teacher with a unique gift from the Chinese Handicraft Mart on Taipei, and a lovely plaque of appreciation! 

The teaching assistants who helped the teachers every day with the Summer English Program were also recognized. Their help was invaluable! (Pictured above: Alex, Sunny, Kim, and Tina). Also, the office assistants Zach and Vivian were always working to support the Summer English Program behind the scenes, and they were recognized for their assistance.  Thanks to both of them for their hard work!

A big thank you to everyone who helped our Summer English Program be successful this year!  We appreciate them and want them to know how special they are to us!
