 Stuco Retreat
 David Lee (G12)

 From September 19th to 20th, the YHIS
 Student Council successfully had their
 Student Council Retreat. The Student
 Council Retreat is one of the Student
 Council's essential events, where the
 selected members decide on the events and
 programs that they will hold throughout the
 school year. Meanwhile, they were also
 taught core lessons of leadership and
 cooperation by Miss Abi Roy from Odyssey,          11th Grade Eileen Bang, who was elected as
 Mrs. Feng, and Miss Rubsam from YHIS as            the Public Relations Manager of the Student
 advisors of the Student Council.                   Council, remarked, “Student Council retreat
                                                    provided some primary lessons to become a
                                                    servant-leader. I had not even heard of the
                                                    idea of servant-leader, and yet, through
                                                    StuCo Retreat, I was able to learn a concept
                                                    that led to thinking about being a true leader.”
                                                    Although the Student Council did not disclose
                                                    all of their plans decided during the retreat,
                                                    some of the upcoming events are spirit days

Middle School Fall Camp
Christina (G7), Kelly Lee (G7)
This year on September the 14th, YHIS middle school went on a Fall Camp to Mahota Town in
Penglai. The theme of this Fall Camp was “Re:new”. The fall camp was for two days and one night.
After the arrival, there were some introductions about the Fall Camp given by the teachers. Then
students had fun outdoor activities in rotations. The students made team names, painted flags, and
created cheers for their advisory groups. Students also had reflection and discussion time to
discuss the theme of the camp. In the evening, students played games around the campfire and
got to eat s’mores too.
On the second day, students had a thrilling scavenger hunt. The students had to find stuff and rake
pictures and videos for the scavenger hunt. Then the students played capture the flag among two
teams. In the afternoon, students played a variety of rotational games again with advisory groups.
After the rotational games, the students had a water balloon fight.

Some students who went attended the Fall Camp was asked what their favorite part of the camp
was, and Jade Cointreau in 7th grade said, "the time when we went back to the rooms at night
was my best part of the camp because we had fun with our roommates and played board games
and ate snacks at night." Crystal Gu, also in 7th grade, said, "my best part of the Fall Camp was
the time to go back to the rooms at night and the activities teachers prepared like capture the flag
and rotational games."
The 2020 Fall Camp was a great time to get to know each other and take part in experiences
outside of our daily routine.

High School Fall Camp
Aaron Kim (G10)

Because many new students came to YHIS
this year, the fall camp was an excellent
opportunity to get to know each other. During
the fall camp, the high schoolers played fun
games, enjoyed delicious meals, and had a
great time connecting.
On the first day of the fall camp, the high
schoolers took a bus to a place called Mahota
Town. It took about an hour to arrive there,
and most campers said that their first
impression of Mahota Town was that it was
very eco-friendly. The flowers were beautiful,
the trees were nice and tall, and the air was

                                                    they headed to a restaurant to eat dinner. The
                                                    high schoolers enjoyed the delicious meal and
                                                    played games that Student Council had
                                                    prepared. However, as many high schoolers
                                                    said, the most fun part of the first day was the

HS Social Studies Week - Deforestation
Candace Kim (G12)

Deforestation is the permanent removal of trees to make
room for something besides the forest. It can include
clearing the land for agriculture or grazing or using the
timber for fuel, construction, or manufacturing. Forests
cover 30% of the Earth’s land surface. Forests provide food,
medicine, and power for people around the world. Forests
are resources, and they are large, undeveloped swaths of
land that can be converted for purposes such as farming.

There are lots of causes for deforestation. The causes can
be direct and indirect. Direct causes are natural causes and
human activities. Natural causes are hurricanes, fires,
parasites, and floods. The main cause of deforestation is
human activities; agricultural expansions, cattle breeding,
timber extraction, mining, oil extraction, dam construction,
and infrastructure development. Indirect causes are caused
by insufficient political input and governance failure of an
adequate land tenure system, corruption, and wrong public
administration investments. Also, political and socio-
economic causes increase due to population growth,
military conflicts, and climatic changes.

Deforestation negatively affects wild animals, plants, and humans in the following ways: 1) water
cycle disruption, which can lead to desertification and habitat loss; 2) greenhouse gas emissions,
which contribute to global climate change; 3) loss in biodiversity, which can lead to extinctions and
loss of natural beauty.

Luckily, there is a cultural shift that happened due to deforestation. To cope with the loss of trees
due to deforestation, people now volunteer to plant trees in damaged soil. These actions can
revive the broken forests and rebuild the animals’ habitats. In addition, people can save on tree
consumption by purchasing recyclable items. This not only reduces economic losses but also
emphasizes the importance of recycling to people. Finally, people restore damaged forests
through fundraising. No matter how many people verbally support the cause and plant trees,
money is needed to restore entire forests. Therefore, people raise money to prepare the
equipment and materials required for restoration work in the forests.

MS Social Studies Week - Deforestation
Lina Heo (G6), Kelly Kim (G7)

Secondary SOCIAL STUDIES week lasted from
September 21 to September 25. According to the
dictionary, deforestation means ‘clearing of forests.’ It
is the process of cutting down trees and destroying
the forests.

Deforestation is such a severe issue all over the
world. We interviewed Mr. Logsdon, the middle school
geography teacher, for some information. He said,
“The purpose of this project is to make students more
aware of the seriousness of deforestation. It is so
easy for us to take our environment for granted.
However, science tells us how delicate our
environmental system is and how abuse can lead to
our demise. Deforestation is a severe threat to not
only our health but to our lives on this planet”. When
we asked him his opinion about the seriousness of
deforestation, he replied, “I believe that we are quickly
approaching the “red level” concerning permanent
damage to our environment. Because of politics and
“big business,” our world leaders are choosing to
ignore this problem, and it will soon be a reality to the
current student generation that our leaders have set
us on a course for disaster. It is very easy to go on the
internet and see the evidence that points to a looming
disaster if we do not change our political and
economic systems around the world on this issue.”

When we interviewed students, some said that they felt nervous when they were told to do the
project. However, as they learned about deforestation, they realized that deforestation also has
some advantages. Moreover, some students initially wanted to know more about deforestation
and how much it affects the world’s ecosystem. They now recognize that if we keep cutting down
the trees, then the world’s forest will eventually disappear, and we will have less fresh oxygen to
breathe. This will cause MANY problems. The solution to this issue is to plant more trees in the
right places and STOP cutting trees! Students a lot of fun making posters and having
discussions about these issues with their partners.

ECC Social Studies Week-Creative Self Portraits
Joy Tham (G7)
This year from September 21 to 25, YHIS held its first
Social Studies Week. The topic for Early Childhood’s
Social Studies projects was “ECC Family.” The Early
Childhood Centre (ECC) consists of the youngest
students of YHIS. The ages of these students range
from three to six years old.

This topic was chosen because, in their classes, the
young students have been learning that their
classrooms are like families. The ECC made self-
portraits that were displayed on the “ECC Family
House” near the fish tank.
Miss Masluk, the ECC lead teacher, said, “We help
each other, care for each other, play together and
learn together.”

Through the Social Studies Weeks, YHIS students
learned about the Earth and the people on it through
their projects. Learning about the Earth and the
people on it is very important because knowing this
information can help make friends and know how to
take care of the environment. I hope that YHIS
students will remember what they have learned from
this experience.

Family Movie Night and BBQ
Ruyi Vars (G6)
On September 25, YHIS and YIA students, alongside
their families, enjoyed the 4th annual movie night. The
evening began with an outdoor BBQ and potluck
dinner. Round tables dotted the courtyard with families
and friends gathering around them. White plates were
filled with food, pizza, chicken, and fries. As the sun
set, the party moved to the soccer field, where chairs
and blankets were scattered in front of the movie
screen to watch “Abominable.” While some sat down
to watch the movie, others spent time playing with
their friends. “I liked the Kim Bap that the parents
made,” remarked Christina Kim in 7th grade. “I liked
the part when I got to play with my friends,”
commented Jade Cointreau in 7th grade. Although for
different reasons, everyone enjoyed the family movie
night, and at the end, they left the scene with joy.

Mid-Autumn Festival
Christina Kim (G7)
This year, the Mid-Autumn Festival was on October 1st. It is a day to celebrate the festival with
families. The Mid-Autumn Festival was on the same day as the Chinese National Day. This
allowed people to travel places with their families. There are several legends of the Mid-Autumn
Festival like Rabbit on the Moon, Wu Gang Chops the Tree, and Hou Yi Shoots 9 Suns. The
most common traditions for the festival are eating moon cakes and appreciating the moon.
The “Hou Yi Shoots 9 Suns” is a famous legend
told during the Mid-Autumn Festival. A man
named Hou Yi shot nine suns and saved the
village from the scorching weather. He received
an elixir that can turn anyone into a God. But
Hou Yi didn’t want to leave his wife Chang E, so
he gave the elixir to Chang E for safekeeping.
One day Peng Meng, who wanted to be a God,
threatened Chang E to give the medicine to him.
Chang E didn’t want Peng Meng to be a god, so
she ate the elixir and flew to the moon. Hou Yi
heard all that happened while he was gone, and
he longed for her every day. He sacrificed moon
cakes, which was Chang E’s favorite food, to
remember her from that day on.

September 21 to 27 was the Mid-Autumn
Festival week. In Chinese class, students
learned captivating legends related to the
festival. Teachers set up different stations in
class and the students rotated between them.
One station was eating different kinds of
mooncakes; students said that most of them
were delicious and phenomenal. Another station
was answering questions and riddles about the
festival or Chang E and Hou Yi. The last one
was making greeting cards wishing people luck,
fortune, or even health. Students enjoyed
making, solving, and eating while learning about
the mid-autumn festival, and they were glad to
know more about the festival.

One of the Chinese teachers in YHIS, Ms. Meng, said, “I think the ancient people celebrated
Mid- Autumn Festival because people harvested a lot of food in the fall when technology wasn’t
developed and the harvest was limited, so people celebrated it together to be thankful for them.
Today people celebrate it because it is a traditional festival, people get used to it, and also it is a
holiday when people go to their hometowns to get together.”

World Food Day Celebration
Ruby Kim (G8) and Kate Yoo (G8)
October 16 is the day when people all around the world celebrate World Food Day. World Food
Day is celebrated to promote global awareness and action for those who waste food while
others suffer from hunger. In our school this year, we decided to do several activities, including
the Waste-weigh in, Mystery Reader on the theme of food, posters about World Food Day, a
writing competition for secondary students, etc.

For the Waste-weigh-in, we assumed that it would be the most entertaining activity among all
other activities. It is because Waste-weigh-in is an activity in which we measure the weight of
food each grade wasted during lunch and compare it to see which grade has wasted the most.

Next, Mystery reader on the theme of food was the activity solely for the ECC students. It
included different kinds of activities, like reading books and sharing their ideas about World
Food Day. There was also an activity called creating posters about World Food Day, aka the
Food Hero. MS students in the art class were assigned to make posters about the Food Hero.
In the poster competition, students were judged on the clarity of their ideas and creativity. The
writing competition for secondary students regarding World Food Day has taken place as well.
Through these activities, students learned about the importance of food and why we should not
waste our food. It’s crucial not to waste food because we can prevent environmental
degradation and reduce the number of people dying from famine and illnesses.

Rankings for the Waste-weigh-in contest for seeing which grade had wasted most food are as
follows:

 1. 3rd grade (47g)
 2. 2nd grade (51g)
 3. 1st grade (63g)

Welcome, New Students
David Lee (G12)

Greetings! I am David Lee, a current senior
at Yantai Huasheng International School,
and the President of our YHIS Student
Council. Welcome or Welcome back to our
community! More than two months have
elapsed since Day 1. It is such a pleasure for
me to observe the increase in the size of my
graduating class of 2021, the infinite
possibilities that are possible along with the
larger student body and staff body, and the
enjoyment that will arise amid all the
processes.

When I first came to YHIS in January 2019, I snorted at our community’s small size. I was not
used to this kind of environment where a little more than a dozen students were the only members
within the High School, where the only constituent for my graduating class is myself. The
members within the Student Council were de facto all members of High School. There I was, a kid
from more than 20 students within his graduating class and about 70 students in the High School.
I was frustrated, and yet, I was excited. I was excited to see the environment where teachers are
truly caring for their students with love and patience. The jewels of opportunities were not
unavailable but merely unraveled, and here students were proudly saying, “I want to go to school”
every vacation. It is incredible to experience.
Now, with nearly 100 students within Secondary, I challenge you to experience YHIS as it is, just
like how I did. A wise man once said to me, “Your goals never decide who you are; your purpose
decides it.” Please ask yourself why you are here and what you are seeking to achieve here at
YHIS, then carve the answers in your mind so that it serves as the bedrock of your existence in
YHIS.

Chemistry because of their intricacy. So, it does not come
as a surprise that she has joined the Science Fair and
Engineering Club. Giselle likes that YHIS has diversity in
education. She said, “YHIS does not only focus on STEM
education but also on literature and language.”
Mr. Tham, Giselle’s AP Biology teacher said, “She is smart and hardworking.” Miss Carroll,
Giselle’s AP Language and Composition teacher, said, “Giselle is an extremely meticulous and
studious learner.” Giselle is a role model for many students at school. YHIS is proud to have
Giselle as a student and looks forward to seeing more of her work in the future.

Teacher of the Quarter - Anna Rubsam
Ruyi Vars (G6)

Q: How many years have you worked in Yantai?
   This is my 4th year working in Yantai.
Q: How many languages do you speak?
   I speak three languages: English, Spanish, and Chinese.
Q: Why did you choose to be a teacher?
   I decided to be a teacher because I wanted to work with students from all over the world. I
   thought it would be fun to meet new people and live in new places.
Q: Have you ever had a difficult time teaching?
   I have had very hard times while teaching. Sometimes I’ve been so busy that I didn’t have
   enough time to plan classes, grade the homework, and do all the other things I needed to
   do.
Q: How did you get over it?
   Hard work!
Q: Can you share a memorable experience from teaching?
   I didn’t always teach high school. I used to teach elementary. One year when I was teaching
   4th grade science, we were doing an experiment where we had pans of water and we added
   oil to them to see if the water and oil would mix. When we tried to clean it up, it was a huge
   mess! The sink was overflowing with soap bubbles, and the floor was covered in oil and
   water. I felt bad because the Ayis had to come help us clean up the mess.

Q: What is your favorite part of teaching?
   My favorite part of teaching is interacting with students.
   There are many jobs involved with being a teacher such
   as planning lessons, grading assignments, and going to
   meetings, but the best part of teaching is spending time
   with the students each day.

Q: What class have you enjoyed teaching the most?
   My favorite class is Spanish because learning languages
   is my hobby so when I’m teaching Spanish, my hobby
   overlaps with my job. It’s really fun!
Q: What teacher had the most impact on your life and
   why?
   I think the teacher that had the most impact on me was probably my high school band
   teacher because he was so passionate about music and had very high expectations for his
   students. As a result, we had fun in music class, but we also performed well because we
   worked really hard and loved what we were doing.
Q: What do you hope students will remember most from being in your class?
   I hope that they will learn that they are valued, that I care about their future plans and will
   support them in whatever they choose to do next.

Q: As a college counselor what is your most important piece of advice?
   Choose a career path that you’re really passionate about. You spend much of your life
   working so it’s very difficult if you don’t enjoy your job. So, choose a job that you love even if
   it’s not the highest paying job in the world.

Connecting with Courage
Angela Kim (G10)
In a society where people are quick to judge someone or something by its appearance, or where
outer beauty has become what imbues things with value, human connection has been influenced.
Whether it be one’s body language, voice, clothing, or social status, qualities of one’s appearance
are often processed and judged based on our unconscious inferences. By taking in these limited
data with subliminal minds, we create a picture that impacts our perception of people, their
perceptions of us, and the reality. Indeed, aside from the suffering caused by the virus itself,
protracted conflicts such as systemic racism and economic fallout spurring from stereotypical
thinking represent that the current pandemic amplifies and deepens existing ethnic, economic,
social, and gender inequalities. Yet, as exclusivity exists only because of inclusivity, these
challenges do not indicate that it’s the end of the world—rather, they present a wake-up call for a
global solidarity to overcome the margins between one another with courage.
Our iSC 9 Qualities of Life for September and October were ‘Connection’ and ‘Courage.’ During
the term of two months, YHIS has conducted several programs involving these, such as the Social
Studies Week on deforestation and the World Food Day celebration. Through them, I believe that
we Sharks have stepped a bit closer to being global citizens, and as a human rights activist, I
wanted to introduce you to a thought-provoking book that could provide further insights on this
matter.
The Happy Prince written by Oscar Wilde
invites one to explore these qualities in a
fantastic, creative way. The story starts
with a Swallow delaying his trip to Egypt for
the winter because he falls in love with a
Reed—upon giving up that romance, he
flies past a town where he happens to
settle on a pedestal underneath a gilded
statue. This statue, the Happy Prince,
speaks to the Swallow about all of the
poverty and suffering that he sees in the
town from his high perch.
He begs Swallow to help him in relieving some of that suffering by delivering the valuables from
his person to those in need. The Swallow agrees and delivers the ruby from the Happy Prince’s
sword-hilt to a seamstress struggling to feed her sick son, the one sapphire eye to a playwright
freezing in his garret, and the other to a young match-girl whose father would beat her if she came
home empty-handed. As the Sparrow has come to love the Happy Prince, he opts to remain by
his side, but ultimately, the winter grows too cold, and the Sparrow realizes that death is looming.
The Sparrow soon perishes, and the Happy Prince’s lead heart cracks. Later, the Mayor and
Town Councillors walk by the statue. Disturbed by its shabbiness, they decide to have it melted
and remade. However, since the lead heart won’t melt, it gets tossed on a dust-heap alongside
the Sparrow’s body. Later, when God asks one of his angels to deliver the two most precious
things in the city, which turn out to be the corpse and the broken heart, he promises an eternity in
Paradise in exchange for the brave sacrifices of the Prince and the Sparrow.

"The Happy Prince" preferred the harsh reality to a beautiful fantasy. The real world is full of
injustice and inequality, and one ought to be courageous to accept reality as it is. With this
knowledge of the real world, one could further contribute to bettering it. When the Prince readily
gave up his beauty in the form of stones to help the poor, he gave up that which previously
brought him great pleasure. By doing this, he was able to relieve the world of some misery, and in
the process he made a meaningful connection with the townspeople.

Volleyball Night
Aaron Kim (G10)

On the ninth of the October, YHIS volleyball team had a tournament. Not against other schools,
but each other. YHIS volleyball teams were divided into three teams: blue team, red team, and
yellow team. The teachers also made up a team and participated in the tournament. The coaches
decided who will be in each team and then joined the teachers’ team to participate in the volleyball
night’s fun. Many parents came to see their children play and brought food and drink for them. The
volleyball tournament not only improved students’ volleyball skills but also enhanced their
cooperation skills and sportsmanship.

YHIS currently has two volleyball teams divided by gender. The gym they used had two courts, so
girls and boys had tournaments separately. Each game was played up to 25 points and followed
the basic volleyball rules. The students competed against each other and showed great
sportsmanship.

The results are as follows: the red team won at the boys’ tournament, and the teachers’ team won
the girls’ tournament. Although there were winners, there were no losers. Everyone who
participated in the tournament improved their volleyball skills while also learning about the
importance of teamwork and cooperation. As agreed upon by everyone, the volleyball night was
an incredible experience since they could practice while having fun. Dennis Park from 11th grade
said, “Although we were not able to participate in the ISC volleyball tournament due to COVID, it
was still fun to play some volleyball matches.”
