Joan Jang, a student from Taiwan who attends Purdue University, shared through email that we had made the news in Taiwan! Mrs. Yu Wen, the principal of our sister school, Raey Guang Elementary, was interviewed about our partnership. The photo in both articles shows her holding our student artwork (a gift from Georgetown to Raey Guang) that was presented during her visit to our school in October 2008.
Both articles cite our blogs–the one you are viewing right now and our blogs set up for SCHOOLS THAT BLOG TOGETHER (communication between our two schools) and GEORGETOWN ELEMENTARY BLOG (our school blog). The articles (below), are in Chinese and English. I wanted you to be able to see both versions–and appreciate the beauty of the written Mandarin language. Please be aware that the English translation is close…but not exactly true to the elegance of the Chinese language. The message of collaboration and appreciation of both countries and cultures is strong and clear in both languages. Enjoy! Mrs. Reagan

The survey of our US an Taiwan families is still going on. So far, we have had 8 families respond. One family is from Taiwan, the other 7 from Hudsonville. I will post the results after the New Year.
If you have not taken this survey, please view the Family Survey to the right.

To help us get to know one another (Georgetown Families and Raey Guang Families), please complete this survey. The results will be shared in the new year (January 5, 2009). If at all possible, answer the survey with our children. The questions have been phrased so that they make sense to the children! Also, if you have ideas for future surveys, please send me a comment. I would love to hear your suggestions.
Have fun!
