Spring ending and Alice graduation

It has been almost 2 years since two girls moved to the US. 

Emily had a wonderful freshman year in high school. Emily finished the class of band in the spring performance in Groton Hill Music Center. We sometimes joked that attending the band was a beautiful mistake, though. However, it definitely a good practice to manage complicated schedule because Emily still had rowing and squash practice at the same time. Since Emily is intrigued by sports, we might not see her dressing for music performance easily in future.

Congratulated Alice on her graduation from "ELEMENTARY SCHOOL" finally! She was in Jiow-Sheh primary school(舊社國小) in Hsinchu city, Taiwan for her grade 1 to 3. For the preparation of english learning environment, Alice spent her grade 4 at Kang Chiao International School. We are so happy she can have her grade 5 and 6 in McCarthy-Towne (McT). Jolie and I also learned how creativity and interesting elementary school life can be. We are impressed that Alice always adopt the new environment quickly. At the spring conference of 6th grader, Alice's home teacher told us that Alice is super social!

Alice was the last one (due to our last name) in the class to receive diploma

There are ~33% of Asian students in AB school district. I am sure the percentage of Asian students in McT absolutely lower than the average. It might come from McT focus on art integration leaning, instead of traditional English and Math teaching. Traditional Asian family may not appreciate this novel style.  Jolie and I are greatly thankful Alice being here for two years, though.
