實中十一月十二日舉辦校運  眾家健兒 一展雄風

實中九十四學年度全校運動會，於十一月十二日在大操場熱烈展開。大會的各項活動由雙語部的啦啦隊表演揭開序幕，國小部小小運動員們的大會操表演秀出昂揚的精神，幼稚園部師生及家長的親子表演「寶貝寶貝我愛妳」更是吸引眾人的目光。而今年校運會賽程的一大特色是，為了提高全校師生的競賽興致與參與精神，所有個人單項競賽之預賽與決賽均提前舉行，並在十一月八日全部結束。因此校運會當天的競賽項目均為大隊人馬競逐之團體競賽，除了屬於兵家必爭之地的精采的國高中組大隊接力，以及一向笑果十足的國小部、雙語部、幼稚園趣味競賽之外，今年並增加了可看性相當高的雙語部趣味過關挑戰賽及中學部趣味競賽，而好手雲集的跨部精英大隊接力挑戰賽更是創舉，讓學生們跨過部別的藩籬，共同為奪標而努力（校運會當天賽程見第3頁）。

雙語部五年級為聯合國兒童基金會募款 萬聖節別具深義

在Ms. Barbra Levine 老師的籌畫與指導之下，雙語部五年級的學生和家長共同舉辦萬聖節Trick-or-treat for Halloween活動，過了一個別具深義的萬聖節。
有別於以往萬聖節只是裝鬼嚇人、吃糖搗蛋的刻板印象，今年的萬聖節，雙語部五年級的學生們決定做一件更有意義的事---為聯合國兒童基金會募款。 從九月起師生及家長們便開始進行各階段募款活動的籌畫，並張貼海報預告這個令人期待的訊息；而十月初開始募款義賣正式在雙語及國小部開鑼。週三中午成為師生家長們興奮的一刻：第一週的小吃義賣，各式滷味、炒米粉、油飯等等，是媽媽們為求新鮮健康，清晨兩三點起床現作的美味，十一點多擺出來，不到半個小時便幾乎銷售一空，晚來的還只能望空桌興嘆。第二週的二手書義賣，更吸引了許多小小愛書人留連。第三週中午，雙語部新大樓前的停車場擠滿了人潮，在各個吸引人的攤位前，享受繁重課業空檔中的一點輕鬆與笑意。第四週的週三，在雙語部多功能教室的溫馨集會中，師生家長們共聚一堂，在幻燈片感人的畫面中，回顧這一次活動的點滴，為活動正式畫下句點。
聯合國兒童基金會的宗旨在關懷並援助飢貧國家兒童的生存、照護、健康、發展與教育；此次由學生們為聯合國兒童基金會募款的活動深具意義：除了在實中師生的慷慨解囊共襄盛舉之下，義賣所得總共募集了$91,256元，於十月三十一日匯到紐約捐給聯合國兒童基金會，為世界兒童福利盡一份心力之外，學生們更學到人飢己飢、人溺己溺的關懷，萬聖節不再只記得打扮自己到處要糖，而能化私心為大愛，服務助人，藉由共同的合作與努力，讓全世界的孩子都能有一個更溫馨美好的明天。衷心感謝所有媽媽們的全心投入及實中師生們的支持，讓此次活動圓滿成功。（照片見第13、14頁）。

NEHS Field Day Fun, Sweat and Glory

The NEHS annual Field Day takes place on November 12. The performances of the invigorating Bilingual cheerleaders, the spirited Elementary little athletes and the adorable Kindergarteners are absolutely sensational. With the individual contests finalized by November 8, all events on Field Day involve a large number of participants and the spirit is kept high all day. The High School and Bilingual Departments’ group relay finals are the usual focus of the attention with the fun games spicing up the day. A special event this year is the cross-department relay in which the teams are made from the best runners of both the High School and Bilingual Departments. Students cheer for their own grade level regardless of the department boundaries. What a bonding event and united effort!!

Welcoming Reception of the Elementary Department Embraced the Little First Graders

Joyous, anticipating yet a little uneasy, the first graders of the Elementary Department entered their first shrine of formal education on August 29. Through the hallways decorated as a jungle of adventures, homeroom teachers led those pairs of curious eyes into an enchanting world where the nimble monkeys, slow but steady turtles, hippos with a great tummy for tolerance, bears with impeccable manners and giraffes with a great foresight…. all served as terrific role models for them. On October 6, the enthusiastic welcoming reception filled the seemingly huge Gym with joy as the first graders walked onto the stage to receive good wishes. From the bottom of our hearts, we would like to say, “Welcome, little ones, and have a marvelous life!!”

It aims to facilitate pressure-free reading and writing through a web space lined with respect to all writers. This is one website that is worthy of your time and attention.

Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF Bilingual 5th Graders Reached Out And Touched The World

This Halloween the fifth grade students, parents and Humanities teacher, Ms. Barbra Levine, worked on a month-long fundraising project called Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF. UNICEF (United Nations Children’s Fund) is an organization that supports child survival, protection, and development worldwide through education, advocacy, and fundraising. Besides raising money for UNICEF, the goals of this project were to educate about UNICEF’s mission and efforts, to provide students with the learning of the life of the less fortunate children, to develop their caring about the world as family and to encourage them to make a difference.

For the first three Wednesdays in October, the fifth graders raised money by selling homemade food, donated books, t-shirts and mugs, etc. The stands on the 2nd floor of the Bilingual Department and the Elementary Department were always crowded with people. On the final selling day, Wednesday, October 19, a spirited Halloween carnival was held complete with costumes, games and prizes, food, and fun! All these efforts were well rewarded. On October 26, at the end-of-fundraiser final ceremony as the heart-warming slide show brought back the unforgettable moments of collaborated efforts, the total amount of money raised (NT$91256) was announced and the crowd gave a long, hearty cheer for the hard work, time and energy sacrificed on the part of all involved. This money was sent to UNICEF on October 31st, the best trick-or-treat day of the year.

Thanks to all the kind-hearted people that helped make this meaningful event happen. We look forward to making the 2006 Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF fundraiser a united effort in a larger scale (see p. 13-14 for detail).
