L.O.T.E. - Mandarin

你好 (nǐ hǎo) everyone! 

As we come to the end of our 2023 school year, I want to take a moment to offer my sincere thanks to all parents and students for their hard working, support and encouragement this year. Well done everyone! 

I would like to give very special thanks to my amazing language captains Nicole and Thomas. Thank you for going above and beyond. Your hard work did not go unnoticed. Thank you for your humor and dedication. You always amaze me and inspire me. I am so grateful to have worked with such fun and outstanding captains. Saying goodbye to you is highly disheartening.  谢谢 (xiè xiè), 妮可 (nī kě) and 汤姆斯 (tāng mǔ sī) ! All the best for your brightest future.
