Thank you for allowing us to come today. Hold on for two seconds. Just want to make sure that everybody is here. Come on in. Colleagues, today i would like to take this opportunity to recognize a school, a new preschool that is thriving. In february of 2008, when a group of parents, frustrated with the lack of quality preschools in San Francisco, open the school to provide a multi lingual, multicultural environment where people can freely develop their gifts and interests. 45 children from diverse cultural backgrounds attended the school and enjoy the program with an innovative mandarin immersion approach. By creating a loving environment, encouraging exploration, fostering curiosity, and fostering the Language Proficiency and cultural awareness, they are preparing students for success in the globalize world. Please join me in thanking the school for providing the city of San Francisco with nurturing the infinite capacity of young children. Thank you all for coming today. Thank you, su
