親愛的蓋城家庭成員們，大家好!
這個冬天似乎特別的冗長，大雪不斷，希望大家注意安全，多加衣物保暖。
我要特別提醒大家這個星期日, 3月8日,開始日光節約時間。請家長們不要忘記設置你的時鐘提前一小時。
學校夏令營(6/22到 6月26日) 已經在網路及報紙上刊登。 所有相關資料都已放在網站http://camp.gcs-md.org/。 請散播這個消息給你的朋友和家人。
下列是我們三月份專題演講的的時間表。 希望大家踴躍參加，也可邀請親朋好友一起來。
•3/8,2-3pm我們很高興請到邢文瑛博士來和我們談”退休規劃─社會安全福利金的申請”。邢博士會告訴大家在什麼時候申請社會安全福利金最有利，以及在特殊的情況下如何去補救。
•3/15, 2-3pm我們資深的太極拳教練，羅世清老師，會給我們介紹太極拳，讓我們更多了解太極起源，文化和歷史，還有對健康的益處。
•3/29, 2-3 pm美國台裔學生協會到校演講如何申請大學。主講人曾筱晴是蓋城畢業校友。筱晴是美國台裔學生協會大華府地區主席。她和她的講員會給準備申請大學的高中生重要的資料。 給參加的高中生和他們的父母許多不同的想法與建議。參加的學生也有機會問這些大學生申請表的寫法、學術課程和大學生活有關的問題。 她還提出了家長座談會，（3-4pm）讓家長知道如何在申請大學過程中支持他們的孩子。
希望所有家長們參加這些專題演講。 也祝福每一蓋城家庭健康平安。
