三层的教师活动室是谢师宴的主会场，家委会在此为老师们亲手准备了丰盛美味的谢师宴，有精美可口的纸杯蛋糕、有香气扑鼻的烤鸡翅、还有色味俱佳的意大利面，以及最受欢迎的巧克力喷泉，都是出自家长之手。除此之外，还有鲜花、蛋糕、面包、甜点、饮料、各式水果……精心布置的会场、亲手烘焙的食物、精挑细选的礼物，家长们用自己的方式表达了对于老师一年以来辛勤工作的感谢。
The Parent Council prepared and made a delicious banquet for teachers at the activity room on the third floor, including exquisite cupcakes, roast chicken wings, tasty pasta, and the most popular chocolate fountain. Flowers, cakes, desserts, drinks, and fruits were also prepared. The well decorated room, hand-baked food, and meticulously selected gifts all showed parents’ gratitude for the teacher’s dedicated work.
伴随着轻快的音乐，百八十位老师陆续到场，与家长代表欢聚一堂。会场循环播放的是2017-2020年谢师日的精彩片段，去年的云上谢师的《You raise me up》播放完毕，全场响起了热烈的掌声。校长李文平、学术校长Reid Prichett以及家委会主席Vicky分别致辞，感谢全体老师在去年疫情期间克服重重困难，为“停课不停学”所作出的巨大努力，以及在日常教学中对于学生的真切关爱和悉心教导，并对于家校合作、共育良才的美好前景进行了展望和祝福。
As the light music and videos of the previous Teacher Appreciation Day events from 2017 to 2020 played, more than 180 teachers gathered with the parent representatives. The room burst into warm applause when the melody of the “You raise me up” video from the 2020 online event ended. The Executive Principal Ms. Wenping Li, the Academic Principal Mr. Reid Prichett and the Chair of the Parent Council Ms. Vicky, delivered speeches respectively to thank all the teachers for their great efforts to “keep learning with class suspension” during the epidemic period, as well as their sincere care and dedicated teaching for students in classes. They also looked forward to the bright future of home-school cooperation and the joint cultivation of talents.
谢师日活动圆满结束后，老师和家长都给予高度评价：热情、用心、诚意满满。此次活动正式举办前，家委会向全体家长发放通知并开展募捐，得到了家长们的热烈响应，家长代表踊跃报名参加活动的筹备，众多家长踊跃捐款表达对于此次活动的支持。
