Student Spotlight - Gillie Ross

By -

Every month we will feature a current student, teacher or alumni from CLIP to showcase on our blog.  If you are interested in being featured, contact web@cusdclipco.org.

 Who are you?
My name is Gillie Ross, I’m in the 4th Grade


How long have you been in the CLIP program?
I started in Kindergarten, so 5 years now.  My brother and sister are also in the program with me.
What are some of your hobbies or special interests?
I like hockey and Karate.  I'm the goalie on a girls travel hockey team, and I'm 5th kyu in Karate.  And lately I've been singing a lot of Hamilton and Moana songs.
What is your favorite subject in school?
PE's my favorite, but I like writing and reading too.  They're a bit more useful.   
What's your favorite after-school activity?
Karate is my favorite.  I like learning new things, and how to protect myself.   
Tell us about a special activity from CLIP that you enjoy.
I've been in the Chinese New Year Parade for 3 years.  Hopefully next year I can be a drummer.    The competition is fun, and it's really exciting when we get on TV.  We've won our division one of those years.   
Why do you love CLIP?
There are two reasons I love CLIP - it has a lot of special activities and I can't believe that I'm actually learning another language!   AND, when I talk to my brother and sister in Mandarin, Mom and Dad don't know what we're saying!

Congratulations to two of our CLIP students, 7th grader Lyria Zhu and 4th grader Ray Zhu.  Both Lyria and Ray went to Beijing this summer to compete in two national contests.   One contest is the 4th Huayun Cup National Mandarin Speech Contest. Lyria's solo speech ‘Rain of  Osmanthus Flowers (桂花雨) ’ won 1st place - champion of all international groups which includes competitors from six countries. The other contest is the 13th National Youth Talent TV show, and both Lyria and Ray were members in a group performance (dancing, speech, and magic combo show).  Ray and Lyria gave speeches in Chinese.   The group was granted the  'Gold Award' by the referee committee.

Every month we will feature a current student, teacher or alumni from CLIP to showcase on our blog.  If you are interested in being featured, contact  web@cusdclipco.org .  Who are you? My name is Alan Fong - I have a seasonal wholesale/ distributing company selling ski and snowboard apparel.

You may see me around campus here often because I am also a substitute teacher for the CUSD as I primarily sub for Meyerholz and occasionally for John Muir. What volunteer role do you have in CLIP currently? What roles, if any, have you had in the past? I am currently serving in my second of a two-year term as the 1st grade representative and my first year was a kindergarten representative on t...
