韩友俊（Fred Ha）被普林斯顿大学提前录取。他是华人协会和阳光中文学校杰出义工代表，是我们NHPCA Youth Leadership program 的团队领袖之一，阳光中文学校第一批总统义工奖获得者。 NHP 高中排名不见经传，Fred之所以能够出於其类，拔乎其萃，不仅因为他学习成绩卓越，还有他积极参加社区活动。过去两年我见证了Fred 的社会责任感、领导才能和个人成长过程。恭喜Fred Han!

“韩友俊（Fred Ha） has been admitted early to Princeton University. He is an outstanding volunteer representative of the Chinese Association and Sunny Chinese Center, as well as one of the team leaders in our NHPCA Youth Leadership program. He is also one of the first recipients of the Presidential Volunteer Award at Sunny Chinese Center. NHP High School’s rankings have seen a remarkable rise, and Fred’s ability to stand out is not only due to his excellent academic performance but also his active participation in community activities. Over the past two years, I have witnessed Fred’s sense of social responsibility, leadership skills, and personal growth. Congratulations, Fred Han!”

To celebrate the traditional Chinese festival – #MidAutumnFestival, nine Chinese NPO organizations will jointly host a celebration event on September 29th at Eisenhower Park. Our organizing committee has spent days planning this event, including purchasing floating lanterns so that all the children can receive free water lanterns at the event. They can design their own patterns and send their best wishes by releasing these lanterns on the lake. During the event, there will also be cultural performances, free mooncakes, and many other complimentary gifts. Most importantly, admission is free. We hope you won’t miss this significant traditional cultural event on September 29th. Special thanks to @David Zhang, @Christine Liu, @Derek, and all colleagues for their hard work. We also appreciate the generous sponsorship from Chase Bank, the Jewish Community Center (JCC), and IKEDO Ramen.

This year has been a testament to the fact that language learning extends beyond textbooks and classrooms. We have witnessed the transformative power of language in bridging cultural divides and fostering understanding.
