Jiqian School’s and GEBIS Markham Chinese Academy Class’ Completion Ceremony and Talent Show was held on June 28. After half a year of hard work, everyone happily went to the closing ceremony of the spring class. What was different this time from the past was that there were also teachers and students from the GEBIS Markham Chinese Academy to organize the activities with us.
Starting off the ceremony, the host, Ms. Linda, gave a welcome speech and played a promotional video of GEBIS Toronto Center. Teacher Jie Pan, the head of GEBIS’ Culture and Education Department, delivered a speech. She expressed her gratitude for the parents, children, and teachers for their hard work, and once again encouraged us to recite the scriptures because it is a great thing to learn from the sages, although it is not easy to do!
