The New York Chinese School does not only want to serve the Chinatown community but also continue to carry forward to mainstream institutions and let the whole United States see the value and authenticity of the New York Chinese School.
Principal Wang also thanked the 60 overseas Chinese associations for their support since 1909, the support of all sectors of society, and the persistence and trust of parents, so that students can continue to learn Chinese during the pandemic. She also thanked the teachers for continuing to teach in the face of in-person and online teaching challenges. The dedication of the team and the support of kind-hearted people in society. She also said that from online learning for more than a year to the current online and in-person learning, it is a challenge again and again. And mentioned that the New York Chinese School has two unique advantages including:
1. The Fortune Graduation Fund was set up by Eric Ng, a consultant of the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association, and Mr. Ching Sun Wong, founder of the Wonton Food Company.
2. The New York Chinese School was registered as an absolute charter school with the New York State Department of Education in 1962 with the assistance of lawyer Thomas Sung (currently the chairman of Abacus Federal Saving Bank). The above are the reasons why the New York Chinese School can stand firm during the pandemic.
In addition, Principal Wang would like to thank Chairman Raymond Tsang and former Chairman Eric Ng for donating $100,000 to give a tuition discount to the first 400 registered students who registered for a full year and encourage more community students to continue learning Chinese regardless of ethnicity.

New York Chinese School held the "2023 Summer School Performance" on August 11th, where more than 150 students graduated from the summer school; and more than 200 parents attended the performance. The venue was warm and welcoming. After 6 weeks, the New York Chinese School has left the students with unforgettable memories.

Teachers and students were all excited and dedicated to showcasing the complete results of their learning, which touched the parents in the audience. The performance was presented in a variety of forms, including static and dynamic performances; parents cheered and applauded. It is worth mentioning that the end-of-summer performance not only practiced students' performance skills and self-confidence but also provided a stage for them to show their individuality and team spirit.
During the opening ceremony, special arrangements were made to show the history of New York Chinese School, the support and guardianship of the 60 organizations and community members, and the work that NYCS has accomplished since September 2018, so that parents can understand that NYCS has been serving the community since 1909 to now.
Mr. Raymond Tsang, President of CCBA and Chairman of the Board of Directors of New York Chinese School, also delivered a speech as a parent to extend a warm welcome to parents to New York Chinese School and enjoyed the students' summer performances together. The kindergarten performance of " Little Cutie" and "The Earth is Our Home", a lively and cute dance, innocent and romantic, drew applause from parents.
The second-grade students recited the poem "Song of Water Tune"; in the performance, the students used their strong voices to narrate the classic poem, they not only demonstrated their understanding of the art of poetry but also conveyed their heartfelt emotions and resonance to the audience. In the third student's performance "Summer in a Small Town", parents expressed that their children's performance made them feel the beauty of the song and the growth and progress of their children. Many parents also thanked Principal Wang for her longtime service to the community.
In addition to warmly welcoming each parent's visit and support, Principal Wang also thanked Chairman Tsang for donating his entire salary to the school. She also thanked the teachers for their dedication to teaching, the SYEP staff and volunteers Kaylee Zhou, Xinxuan Chen, Zhitian Liu, Xinxi Shum, Kaiyang Weng, Yinfan Zhou, and Huilin Huang for their hard work, and the New York Chinese School team for their dedication. She emphasized that since the outbreak of the epidemic, New York Chinese School is proud to have continued to play a role in serving students in the community and providing a good learning environment and platform for students.

The New York Chinese School held the 2023 Autumn Calligraphy Competition on October 14 and 15. It was the second calligraphy competition held ever since the New York Chinese school restarted due to the epidemic. More than one hundred middle and high school students participated. The top five students chosen for their outstanding works in the primary school section were: Anastasia Lai,Katherine Chiu Wu, Marcella Wong, Ian Huang;
the top three in the junior high school group are: Ava Lee, YongQing Shi, Sebastian Wong;
The top three in the senior class are: William Ren, Yongqing Xu , Danny Moy.
Principal Jennifer Wang mentioned that calligraphy shows the beauty of Chinese characters. Through the study of calligraphy, you can not only exercise patience and perseverance, but also improve the individual aesthetics. The New York Chinese School Chinese School has been promoting and sustaining the mission of inheriting Chinese culture for 114 years and continues to encourage students to learn Chinese language and culture. Calligraphy learning is one of the key projects in learning culture. In addition, calligraphy learning can change a person's temperament. Especially being a minority, one should be more cautious when dealing with people and the mainstream, because it is not only related to your personal image, but also the image of all Asians. Therefore, we hope that through the study of calligraphy, one can improve one’s character development and promote the beauty of Chinese culture. This year's calligraphy competition was a great success with the enthusiastic participation of teachers and students in middle and senior grades of the school.

The establishment of this fund has made New York Chinese School the only school among over 300 Chinese schools in the United States to award graduation scholarships, becoming one of its advantages. The fund provides each junior high and high school student with $ 300 and $1,000 respectively. In 2019, the reward extended to elementary school students, with each receiving $100. From 2018 to the present, nearly 500 graduates have benefited from the fund.
As a staunch supporter of educational initiatives, Ching Sun Wong not only donates 50,000 yuan annually to the graduation encouragement fund but also contributes to the school's operational fund. In 2017, he also sponsored the establishment of the "Wonton Food Achievement Scholarship" under the Greater New York Chinese Education Foundation, donating 120,000 yuan each year to reward the children of Asian catering industry families nationwide for completing their studies. He has become a renowned philanthropist in the community.
Principal Jennifer Wang expressed gratitude on behalf of the entire school community for the donation and thanked Wonton Company for its long-term care for the school. She stated that, given the enormous impact of the pandemic, the ability of a family business to continue supporting education is truly commendable, bringing happiness to the students of the New York Chinese School. At the same time, she encouraged community students to cherish the opportunity to learn Chinese and, in the future, apply their knowledge for the betterment of society.
