If you have not signed up for Picnic yet, please reply to this email:huaxiact@gmail.com, indicating how many of you will show up and also the name of the students. Good news is there will be no charge for the picnic, but you still need to sign-up for us to order enough food for everyone. Please reply by Wednesday night so we can get the final count. Late sign-ups/walk-ons might not be guaranteed to have food.

Thank you very much.2. 5/31 All-parent meeting resultsOur sincere thanks to all those who attended yesterday's general membership meeting! For those who couldn't make it, here is a brief recap.
Principal Jun Xu gave the annual school report and financial report, with a Q&A followed. The meeting approved the revisions to the school bylaw. The new bylaw is available on the school website for parent consultation(under
About us Link). The meeting also elected the new Parents Council President Li Xu for the next school year (08-09), two new Board directors Yili Hammer and Sherry Shen. According to the bylaw, PCP is automatically on the school board. Thus we have three new board members, each serving a two-year term (08-10).
The current Board would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere thanks to last year's PCP Jian Li for his wonderful work and congratulations to the three elected members! With newly elected members, we now have 9 board members for our next school year, they are:
Jun Xu
John Yu
Jian Li
Frank Wu
Sherry Shen
Li Xu
Yili Hammer
Yimin Sun
Zuohong Pan
The election results are as follows (parents were in and out of the classroom during the election, which might have affected the total counting):
Approval of Bylaw revisions: Yes - 43, No - 2, Abstain - 0
PCP Li Xu: 44
New Board members: Sherry Shen 48, Yili Hammer: 32
According to the new bylaw, the Board will convene soon to appoint the new school Principal for the next school year (08-09). The decision will be announced at the 6/7 meeting.
