課 - 12-26-2016



今天的活動將領導俱樂部的成員帶到了當地的療養院,在那裡他們照顧精神殘疾和受傷的人。學生帶來了他們在上一課程中製作的聖誕飾品,並作為禮物送到養老院。療養院將出售這些裝飾品每個NT100,為療養院病人籌集資金。 

學生們與病人進行了一場比賽,然後為他們提供一個籃球展演作為娛樂。我們的贊助者「佳湘麵包」為活動提供小點心。 

學生們一起騎自行車參加本次的活動。

Today's activity brought the members of the Leadership Club to a local nursing home, where they took care of mentally disabled and injured people. The students brought the Christmas ornaments that they made in the previous class, and gave them to the nursing home as a gift. The nursing home will sell the ornaments for NT100 each to raise money for the nursing home patients.

The students played a game with the patients, and then provided a basketball exhibition for their entertainment. Our sponsor, Chia Hsiang Bakery, provided snacks for the event.

The students rode their bicycles together to get to the event.

課 - 12-12-2016


今天的領導俱樂部享受了一個特殊的戶外教學。他們去了一個幫助精神殘疾人的社區中心。這個社區中心提供了一個支持性的環境,使精神殘疾人可以學習和工作。他們實際上可以做簡單的工作,並且在那裡他們可以為自己賺錢。它由幾個關愛社會工作者經營。

Today's Leadership Club enjoyed a special outing. They went to a community center that helped mentally disabled people. This community center provides a supportive environment where the mentally disabled can learn and work. They actually can do simple jobs, where they can earn money for themselves. It is run by several caring social workers.


The Leadership Club students were taught how to make Christmas decorations by hand. The social workers gave a presentation about the community center. Then, they provided materials and directions on how to make the beautiful Christmas ornament out of colorful plastic beads and fishing line. Most of the students were focused and achieved their goal easily, while some needed help. There were enough social workers and volunteers to help almost everyone complete their task.


Several volunteers also joined the group to help them with their new experience. With their help, the students were able to learn more easily. And the volunteers added to the warm atmosphere.


The ornaments will be given to patients in a nursing home during the next Leadership Club meeting. Materials for the ornaments were paid for by a nearby business. This shows that local businesses can support projects that can change the lives of young people in the community.

志願 - Volunteering - 11-09-2016


11月9日星期三,菁英領導俱樂部的幾乎所有成員都義務協助西港國小特別活動。他們從西港國中走路出發,並且證明了自己是『可以的』。他們觀看了一個由身體殘疾人士(混障綜藝團)所呈現出來傑而鼓舞人心動人心弦的表演。 希望他們會學到,他們是沒有極限的,他們可以用他們的生命實現任何東西。

On Wednesday, November 9, almost all of the members of Elite Leadership Club volunteered to help out at a special event at Sigang Elementary School. They walked from their junior high school, and made themselves available. They watched an inspiring performance, which featured people who were physically handicapped doing outstanding performances. Hopefully, they will learn that they are not limited, and they can achieve anything with their lives.

精英領導俱樂部的第四次課程正好在萬聖節。俱樂部成員有參加一個戶外活動。四個9年級學生被選為領導。每個領導都有自己的團隊。所有的團隊走過了西港區的附近區域並且撿拾垃圾。

他們拿著掃帚,鉗子和垃圾袋。他們有一個競賽,看看哪個團隊可以收集最多的垃圾。 

他們到達西港的當地醫療診所(仁美中醫)休息,喝水,吃點心。而這些糕點是由當地的麵包店( 甘味蛋糕喜餅肉脯號)捐贈。

回到西港國中後,老師招待學生們冰紅茶。喝飲料的同時,西港里的里長也來了,並且帶來驚喜。他提供了大量的冰淇淋,與學生分享,感謝學生們讓整個社區變得很不同。

(很好的一次學校與社區互動) 當學生們在享用茶點時, Shu-min Coolidge 跟他們討論了什麼是在經驗中所學習到的。

The 4th meeting of the Elite Leadership Club occurred on Halloween. The Club members were given an outdoor activity to participate in. Four students in the 9th grade were chosen to be leaders. Each leader was given their own team.

The teams walked through the neighborhood of Sigang District, and picked up trash. They carried brooms, tongs and garbage bags. They had a competition to see which team could collect the most garbage.

They arrived at a local medical clinic (Gene-Med) in Sigang to rest, drink water, and eat pastries. The pastries were donated by a local bakery.

After arriving back at Sigang Junior High School, the teachers treated them to iced black tea. The students were given a surprise by the local district representative. He provided a large amount of ice cream to share with the students to thank them for making a difference for the community.

While they were enjoying their refreshments, teacher Shu-min Coolidge discussed what there was to learn from the experience.
