BCIC Newsletter
Barrington Chinese Immersion Council - May 2019
This is a Special Edition Newsletter!
On numerous occasions over the summer, we will offer your kids a Chinese activity - they can learn the basics of Martial Arts, and even learn Chinese Calligraphy! A lot of effort has gone into this super fun-packed schedule, and we are pleased to offer it to you and your family. Many of the instructors are leaders in their field (find additional info when you sign up online). So please consider supporting the BCIC organization by attending one (or more!) of these excellent classes! We are so fortunate to have these available for us!
Sign Up for the "BCIC Summer Culture Club" Classes!
- Looking for something fun with your kids to do this summer? Want to keep their Chinese up to speed and have fun while doing so? Pick and choose from 10 hands-on activities offered by BCIC. Many classes will be instructed by leaders in their respective fields.
- Select some dates that suit you, and learn something new with your child. These activities are for both parents and kids (no drop-offs!)
- Classes are $10 each. To sign up, click on the link www.bcic220.org and then click on "Classes" (top right of page) A portion of the $10 fee may be used to support participation of Greencastle residents in our summer program.
