"Every Halloween I give out books for the neighborhood along with the candy and other goodies, and the teenagers are usually the ones who love it the most.

Two nights ago when packing up feeling a little discouraged as I didn't get as many kids as I did last year, a family comes up to me and says, "We just got done talking to a pair of teenagers who were so excited about the books they got from you! They said it helped make their Halloween!"

It made all the work worth it! I plan to continue with this tradition as long as I can!"

Last kiss: I'll never forget the day my mom called me in a panic "Janna, you've got to convince your daddy to get rid of that horse, it's gonna kill him!". Major (AKA "Major Deal" as mama named him) was a young and vicious stallion when dad bought him. He "couldn't be broke". The men who owned him previously had used a technique to break horses that involved beatings and tying his head tightly between two posts where they left him standing without food or water for 4 weeks. Major stood strong. When dad brought him home, he barreled through five strands of fence within minutes of arriving and he'd Bite and strike at anyone within distance. My dad never broke him.... he earned his heart. Every single day, for hours and hours dad, worked to earn that abused horse's trust. Love won and after two full years, Major allowed my dad to ride him. When dad would go out, Major would kiss him on the head over and over. They had a bond that only horse people could ever understand. It seemed only fitting to let Major say goodbye. This is Major's last kiss.

Dear Friends,

Regretfully, the Board of Directors of the Chinese School of the Wabash Valley has decided to cancel all classes for the 2020-2021 school year. In consideration of the uncertainty of scheduling for public schools and ISU, resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic, and the desire to put the safety of our students, teachers, and their families first, we felt we had no other choice than to cancel the upcoming year.

Plans for the 2021-2022 school year are already underway, and we will come back better and stronger than ever. Watch our page for updates. Have a happy, safe and healthy year.

Sincerely,

大家好，我也來分享一下在香港教外國孩子說中文的真實笑話～～

有一天10歲的Zoe問：「How do you say “walk the dog”?」，旁邊的John馬上用國語說：「我知道，我知道，是「走狗」」！

（我當場笑到彎腰）

過了一會兒，Zoe又問：「How to say “thief”?」，John又來了：「我知道，我知道，是「偷人」」！

（我已經倒在地上起不來了⋯⋯）

On Aug. 18, 1920, the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified, granting American women the right to vote. This ended nearly a century of protest, which kicked off at the historic Seneca Falls Convention in July 1848. The legislation, however, had very little effect on those outside the....
