In partnership with the Bolton Community Education Foundation, Bolton High School Principal Paul K. Smith will present a special program on his April trip to China on Tuesday, September 16, 2008, at 6:30 PM in the BHS Library. The program will include information on Chinese culture in Beijing and Jinan (the city in which Bolton High School’s sister school is located). The Chinese education system will be showcased along with slides of such sights as the Great Wall and the Forbidden City.


Tuesday, October 21 – Bolton High School’s CHINA TOUR 2010 (April) 6:30 PM, BHS Library

Principal Paul K. Smith is planning to bring a group of Bolton High School students and community members to China in April 2010. The tour, being planned with help form the Bolton Community Education Foundation, will include Beijing, Jinan (with a visit to Bolton’s sister school), and Shanghai. Travel arrangements will be made with the same touring program used by the Connecticut State Department of Education. This program was established to foster cultural exchanges between Connecticut and the Shandong Province. Details are being arranged well in advance to encourage all participants to learn important aspects of Chinese culture, history, and language. If you are interested in learning about China first hand, this meeting will provide the details on how you can be part of this amazing opportunity!
