首先，我要恭喜我們2019-2020的畢業生！利用每個週六上午，在其他人都在休息或玩樂的時候到校學習中文與中華文化，其好學精神與堅持毅力，著實讓人讚佩、讓人激賞！ 具體而言， 願意排除生活中的其他任務或雜務、克服惰性與誘惑、每週六堅持來校參與課程學習、參加學校的各種活動與競賽，那證明了你有能力與彈性面對生活中的挑戰，僅管遇到困難也能堅持不懈地交付成果。我深信，這自小就開始營建的執行力與毅力將讓你終生受益！

對於畢業生的父母們，我們也要為您們在過去這幾年中的為孩子所做的奉獻喝掌！如果沒有您們在這過程中的引導、參與、支持與鼓勵，您們的孩子的學習或許就不會有今日的這般成就了！

在過去這一年中，我們學校在其傳承、發揚與創新中，都有所建樹；同時也有新挑戰。行政作業及檔案電子化在去年李樹仁前校長的開創下，今年已經發揮得淋漓盡致！電子化後，不管在行政作業效率上、或人事的精簡上，效果明顯卓著，且相當有利於行政單位職務的交接順暢，以及歷史資料的紮實精確傳承。此外，今年我們特別規劃的春節聯歡活動方式，不但發揮了交流、凝聚全校師生家長團結的功能，且因為參與者眾，形同提供了師生們更大的伸展舞台、展現其教學與學習成果。最後，新冠疫情突發，世勢驟變，在其衝擊下，自創校57年以來，學校首度被迫關閉、必須立刻轉型迎接挑戰！所幸，在行政人員及教師們的眾心合力下，線上教學順利展開，學校官網線上註冊功能也應時順利成立、方便家長們選課註冊！這種種，正應驗了「困難帶給我們考驗、也帶給我們成長」的真理！在這過程中，我們共同見證與參與、一起成長！那經驗，不但將是日後難忘的回憶，那智慧的增生，也必提增了我們迎接挑戰的應變力！

自2006年長子來校、進入幼兒班開始學習中文後，我前後已經在校擔任過幾個不同的義工任務；從圖書館員開始，到副教務、到年刊編輯、到攝影師、到副校長、到校長為止。經營校務對我個人來說，是一項相當特別的榮譽與生命成就。然而，這成就並不屬於我個人所有，那是凝聚許多資源的成果！是以，我要特別感謝行政人員、家長會、青少年義工及所有的語文課及文化課教師們的付出與奉獻！沒有您們，就沒有今日的學校！行過來時路，我要特別藉此機會鼓勵我們的家長及監護人們，請大家勇於出列擔任義工，同心協力、穩健持續中文學習環境、為下一代奠基、紮實下一代的成長力！

接下來的新學年中，我們現任副校長吳宣霖女士將升任校長職務，引領大家進入另一個里程碑！我們歡迎也祝福吳校長、祝福我們紐澤西中部中文學校！

謹祝 暑安！

Dear Parents, Staff and Students,                                        

Congratulations to our graduating class of 2019-2020! Every weekend, you had offered up valuable time and resources to master the Chinese language and to experience Chinese culture, a feat in of itself. To be more specific, the willingness to attend these classes each and every weekend, to participate in the various events and competitions of the school proves your ability and flexibility in coping with whatever life throws at you, to persevere in delivering results in spite of hardships. This commitment and perseverance will benefit you throughout life.

And to the parents of the graduates, we too would like to applaud your sacrifice and relentless dedication in preparing, helping and guiding your child through all of these years. Without your presence in your child’s education, he or she would not have learned so much, strived so far, and reached so high as they have done through MJCS.

This MJCS school year was particularly unique in more ways than one. Starting in 2018 under Principal Jon Lee and ending in 2020, the MJCS Administrative Office successful digitalized all of its functions onto Google. A new way of organizing the annual Lunar New Year festival was created, showcasing our students’ achievements to even more people. Last but not least, in the entirety of our school’s fifty-seven years of history, there has not been a time in which an external force had so drastically affected the way our school functions; yet this year’s COVID-19 pandemic has succeeded at disrupting our community in such a manner. But despite this, we persevered and adapted to the situation. When it prevented us from learning in our usual classes location, we shifted to online classes so as to continue teaching the Chinese languages and culture, and created a way to register classes online to make it easier for parents and students to pursue registration.

Since 2006, when my first son began MJCS as a kindergartener, I joined and supported the MJCS community. Through the years, my roles in MJCS included Librarian, Vice Administrator, Yearbook Designer, Photographer, Vice Principal and Principal.  Managing this school was such a special accomplishment and an honor to me. But I could not have done so well in helping the MJCS community without support from the MJCS staff members and community. I would like to sincerely thank the Administrative Office, PTO, language and culture teachers, and youth volunteers for their dedication and hard work to our MJCS community. I am also encouraging our parents and guardians to help this community grow by pursuing a staff role in the school.

At the start of the next school year, Sharlene Wu will ascend from Vice Principal to Principal her expertise and enthusiasm will no doubt lead our school to prosperity and onwards.  

Enjoy your summer and we will look forward to next semester!

Best Regards,

Beverly Roun

Principal 2019-2020
