This is your first Shaolin Kids newsletter from Shifu and Shaolin Institute. It will
\nbe coming to you monthly by E-mail and I invite you to be a part of it. Use it to
\ncreatively express yourself!
\n
\n\u201cHow\u201d, you might ask? It\u2019s simple. E-mail me scanned copies of pictures you\u2019ve
\ndrawn, painted, or colored and short things that you’ve written (poems, words of
\nwisdom, insights about martial arts, etc.). As much as possible, I will use your
\npictures and include what you write in the monthly newsletter so that “Shaolin
\nKids Dragon Tales” is your voice.<\/p>\n
In addition, Shifu would like you to get permission from your parent(s) to prepare
\nan Asian dish to be shared at the New Year\u2019s Festival celebration on Saturday,
\nFebruary 9th at the school. He asks that you keep it simple and inexpensive, ask
\nyou parents to help you choose a recipe (preferably Asian) that you can prepare
\neasily, and that you proudly bring it to share at the Festival. Like everything
\nyou do, make it yours; make it special. Most important, he wants you to have
\nfun doing it!<\/p>\n
Please make your Shaolin newsletter and your Chinese New Year\u2019s festival
\na success, by getting actively involved, sharing your voice, and actively
\ncontributing when asked. This month you can contribute greatly by preparing a
\nspecial dish to pass at the Chinese New Year’s festival.<\/p>\n
On behalf of Shifu, I sincerely thank you for being an important part of our
\nShaolin family. Best Wishes to you!<\/p>\n
