CSLI Students Sing for Seniors:
Students warmed up their vocal chords and many hearts by singing Christmas carols to our Yaletown neighboring businesses, as they continued on to Yaletown House, a local seniors' home. They provided the elderly with a concert and many animated moments which all enjoyed!

Chocolates and Chamber Music:
CSLI students were given a pre Christmas treat by Nestle's Chocolate company representatives who came by to let them be the first to sample several new flavors of chocolate bars. Trays of chocolate were passed around to all and the students gave their opinions on their favorite selection. CSLI students were also given free tickets to the Vancouver Chamber Choir Christmas concert held at the historical Orpheum Theatre. Special thanks to both companies for helping our students feel at home in Vancouver this holiday season.

Pronunciation Contest Proves Most Popular of the Year:
About 40 students worked harder than usual at practicing to speak clearly and loudly in order to participate in our popular contest, the winner of which took home $100! Congratulations to all of our contestants for their courage and effort and a special congrat's to our grand pronunciation champion: Josef Zimmermann of Switzerland!

Santa visits CSLI!
CSLI's Christmas party was a wonderful success! A full Turkey lunch compliments of CSLI was enjoyed by everyone, followed by songs from all the students, a gift exchange, a secret Santa gift exchange, as well as a special visit from Santa Claus himself! Santa had received many "Wish Letters" from CSLI students who had special gifts they hoped to get, and Santa fulfilled their dreams. To be a gift recipient, the students had to be on time for all classes, do their homework, have participated in all school events and most importantly, their wish letters had to explain why they deserved to have their dream fulfilled. As every year, Santa was once again very generous. Gifts included: scholarships, digital cameras, tape recorders, English books, trips to Victoria, trips to Whistler, a palm pilot, ski tickets, BC Ferries passes, pots and pans, kimchi, toys for their homestays, a rice cooker, an SLR lens camera, a computer, telephone cards, flowers for girlfriends at home, videos, Harry potter tapes and books, tutoring lessons, a make over at a salon, books of Vancouver, a mattress and many more....Santa hopes that all of you enjoyed your Christmas!

Pre-10th Anniversary, Student of the Month Award:
CSLI had a hard time choosing one Student of the Month this month, so we decided to give our last Student of the Month award for 2001 to Andrea Gomez Conde and her sister Veronica Gomez Conde of Mexico! They will receive a flight back to our 10th Anniversary party next fall and 2, one month scholarships to study with all the other students of the month. Congratulations to the both of you and thank you to Enlaces Mexico-Canada for recommending our school to them!

Drum roll please .... ! The 2001 most important achievement at CSLI goes to Ji Young Park of Korea!
