On April 15, 2013, we have submitted the complete package of the Application for the Confucius Teachings Charter Schools (the Elementary School) to the SUNY authorizer. Due to a recent incidence initiated by a News Report from the New York Daily News, our entire founding team was suffering from great stress and did not have time to complete the rest of the school applications. However, Dr. Lotus King Weiss will communicate with the Leaders at the National Association of Charter School Authorizers to ask for granting more time for the final submission of the rest of the applications. Meanwhile, more and more people from Manhattan, especially from the Harlem area (CSD7) is coming to join the team and invited us to open the Confucius Teachings Charter School. WE here thank the kind-hearted American general public for your kind support and enthusiasm for the Confucius Teachings and the Chinese Language and Culture. The Shen Yun Performing Arts group is coming to New York to give the annual Shen Yun Show at the Lincon Center Plaze. We highly recommend this show to all of you who are interested in embarking onto the path of return to your homeland culture: the 5000 years of traditional Chinese Culture is a gift from God to all of us and let is claim it!
