長島慈濟人文學校2025-26上學期第15週1/11-愛的叮嚀: 慈濟歌曲大家唱,舊鞋回收活動及愛心媽媽會議, 下午12點下課
本週靜思語: 說話要誠實，做事要踏實。
親愛的家長、老師和志工們，大家好!
上學期已接近尾聲，下學期將是同學們開始展現學習成果的好時機。透過多樣化的校內及校外比賽，讓同學們能夠設定學習目標並持續精進。比賽內容相當豐富，提供不同專長的同學們多元參與的機會。
本週日活動班級慈濟歌曲大家唱，請同學們穿整齊的制服到校，並依老師指示前往禮堂參加，也誠摯歡迎家長蒞臨觀賞，給予孩子們鼓勵與支持。
此外，本週日將於一樓大廳舉辦舊球鞋回收活動，敬請大家開始整理家中不再使用的球鞋並踴躍響應。為什麼要回收運動鞋呢？每年都有數以百萬計的鞋子被丟棄，最終進入垃圾掩埋場或焚化爐。運動鞋在垃圾掩埋場中需 30–40 年 才能分解，而不當處理更可能釋放有害化學物質至土壤與空氣中，對環境與社區健康造成負面影響。相關活動資訊與海報，請參考學校網站。
全球的年度「慈悲大挑戰」活動也即將展開，我們希望透過這個活動讓孩子們養成慈悲、行善的好習慣。請同學們根據各班老師們規劃的善行來實踐，學校將在1/26/2026 – 1/30/2026將大家的各種善行分享在社群媒體，讓全世界善行的力量串起來。相關的慈悲大挑戰訊息請見https://thegreatkindnesschallenge.com/ 後續也將陸續與大家分享進一步的訊。

TCALI Weekly reminder for the 15th week of the 1st Semester 1/11/2026: Tzu Chi Songs singing competition, Tzu Chi Songs singing competition, Class Mom Meeting, Dismissal at 12 PM
This week’s Jing Si Aphorism: Be honest in your words and diligent in your actions.
Dear Parents, Teachers, and Volunteers,
As the current semester is coming to an end, the upcoming semester will be a great opportunity for students to showcase their learning achievements. Through a variety of on-campus and off-campus competitions, students are encouraged to set learning goals and continue to grow. With a wide range of activities, students with different strengths will have many opportunities to participate.
This Sunday, the Tzu Chi Songs Singing competition event will take place. Students are asked to come to school in neat and proper uniforms and proceed to the auditorium according to their teachers’ instructions. Parents are warmly invited to attend and show their encouragement and support to the students.
In addition, a used sneaker recycling event will be held this Sunday in the first-floor lobby. We kindly encourage everyone to start sorting out sneakers at home that are no longer in use and to participate actively. Why is sneaker recycling important? Every year, millions of shoes are discarded and end up in landfills or incinerators. Sneakers can take 30–40 years to decompose in landfills, and improper disposal may release harmful chemicals into the soil and air, negatively impacting the environment and community health. For more information and related posters, please visit the school website.
The global annual Great Kindness Challenge is about to begin, and through this initiative we hope to help children develop good habits of compassion and kindness through action. Students are encouraged to carry out acts of kindness based on the plans arranged by their class teachers. From 1/26/2026 to 1/30/2026, the school will share everyone’s acts of kindness on social media, allowing the power of kindness to connect people around the world. For more information about the Great Kindness Challenge, please visit: https://thegreatkindnesschallenge.com/.
