CI NEWS SPRING2014 038 NEW PROGRAMS CHINESE AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAMS With the growth of our CI in the community, local schools reached out to us for more collaboration to help share Chinese language and culture in their schools. Two schools, both very close to our CI in terms of location, worked with us to start Chinese afterschool programs. These great new partnerships offered opportunities for elementary and middle school students to be exposed to more international experiences. We look forward to continuing our current partnerships and expanding to other schools in the area.
