The second annual CHCCS district-wide Asian Parent Night will be held Oct. 14 at 7 p.m. at Smith Middle School auditorium. Robin Visser, associate professor of Asian studies at UNC, and Je-Yeon Jo, lecturer of Asian Studies at UNC, will speak on differences between the Asian and American cultures, followed by a panel discussion with four to six college students who have gone through CHCCS and will share their experiences of growing up in one culture and attending schools in another.
Parents with any connection to Asian culture, middle and high school students, principals, ESL teachers and any staff or faculty who would like to learn about the cultural differences are invited. Child care will be provided for K-5 grade students.
