新移民家庭感恩节聚餐
过去几年,我们帮助了不少这样的家庭,深刻体会到他们的艰辛,无论是学生本人还是父母。对于我们长期居住在这里的华人来说,有些事情算是常识,但对于新移民而言,除此之外,面临的许多挑战是独特的。作为社区,我们有责任做好这项工作,帮助这些家庭和学生顺利度过过渡期,在学习和生活上提供支持。感恩节是一个很好的时间点,我们计划将这个聚餐活动每年定期举办。欢迎(过去一两年刚搬来美国的)家长和学生一同参加,会安排很多有针对性的内容。具体的时间和地点会在群内公布。
30号将召集新移民家庭举办感恩节聚会。一个很大的挑战是新来的孩子们因语言障碍暂时难以适应学习环境,从而导致某些科目落后。深知我们社区中从事理工领域的华人较多,理论上我们并不缺乏这方面的资源,而社区的作用就是将这些资源提供给有需要的孩子们。我们已准备好一份初高中课后辅导报名表,希望在聚会时就能够发给大家。

为新移民家庭举办的感恩节聚餐非常美好!孩子们各有特色,显然对他们在这里的新生活充满了希望。看到他们一起玩耍,家长们愉快地聊天,正是这次活动的主要目标之一——建立联系和归属感。
接下来,让我们一起集思广益,看看可以为这些家庭特别组织哪些活动!
Supporting newly immigrated middle and high school students for a smooth transition requires a combination of academic, social, and emotional support. Communities can assist in many ways, including cultural orientation, peer mentoring, counseling, emotional support, extracurricular activities, and resource sharing. The Thanksgiving party on November 30 will mark the beginning of our journey with these newly immigrated families.

Thanksgiving potluck party for newly immigrated families was truly wonderful! The kids each have their unique traits and are clearly full of hope for their new life here. Seeing them play together and parents chatting warmly was exactly one of the main goals of this event. Let’s brainstorm and see what activities we can organize specifically for these families!
