Closing Ceremony on Friday, July 29

The "Closing Ceremony" was held on Friday to signify the end of the four-week San Sin-TCC Summer English Program. Principal Wu opened the ceremony, welcoming the students and their American teachers. 

Then, Danielle Hess thanked the principal, Mrs. Helen Lee, the San Sin English Department head, Jerry and Ellie Fussell, and Mr. Shih for their continued help with the program. She also encouraged the San Sin students to continue working hard with their English studies.  TAs Willy and Pam served as emcees. Jerry Fussell served as moderator and translated these comments into Mandarin Chinese for the audience.

Each student received a certificate for completion of the Summer English Program. The American teachers also presented special awards to students for Outstanding Achievement and for Excellent Participation in class to individual students. Group photos were taken of the English classes with their American teachers!

After a short break, the student performances began.  Groups of San Sin students sang, danced, and played games. Then, the American teachers performed a "Game Show."
