秋季園遊會一直是「博愛中文學校」一年一度的大型活動，除了讓全校師生歡聚一堂，與社區分享學習中文的樂趣之外，也是各班級籌募班費的良機。
過去兩年，園遊會因疫情取消了。今年，終於在全校師生及義工家長們全力精心策劃下，在10月29日中午於聖荷西市Sierramont校址恢復舉辦了「秋季園遊會暨萬聖節服裝比賽」，這是疫情後首度舉辦的大型活動。
秋季園遊會吸引了大約400人參加。「博愛中文學校」特別感謝「金山灣區文教中心」莊雅淑主任、「北加州中文學校聯合會」會長王婉君、聖荷西市第四選區議員Dr. David Cohen、Berryessa 學區總監 Dr. Roxane Fuentes、學區委員朱感生伉儷、Hugo Jimenez、和Jai Srinivasan出席，並頒發資深教師奬，以表達對教師的謝意及表揚教師為教育事業作出的貢獻與努力。
園遊會的攤位比往年多元化：各式純手工美食攤位，包括餐點便當、炒米粉、滷肉飯、油飯、飯糰、東南亞美食、曲奇餅、中式糕點，飲料包括年輕人喜愛的珍珠奶茶。遊戲攤位方面，有與眾同樂的丟圈圈、丟網球、丟沙包、捉金魚。特色攤位有專業花藝老師精心準備的插花攤位、精緻文具及圖書攤位。
表演節目有功夫、中樂演奏、以及壓軸的萬聖節遊行和服裝比賽。精心打扮的參賽同學們，造型可愛，每位參賽者都穫得禮品一份，優勝者更獲得現金獎。最後的幸運大抽獎，得獎者獲得精緻禮品或禮券。
感謝每一位參與及全力策劃的董事會成員、義工、老師、家長、和同學，順利成功舉辦這次園遊會。
Fall Carnival has always been an annual event of Berryessa Chinese School. It is a great opportunity for all teachers and students to get together in a fun event, share the joy of learning Chinese with the community, and raise funds for the class.
Unfortunately, the event has been canceled for the past two years due to the Covid pandemic. As the pandemic gradually subsided, schools resumed in person classes. Under the careful planning of all the teachers, students and volunteer parents, BCS resumed our Fall Carnival and Halloween costume contest at the Sierramont campus in San Jose on October 29. This is our first post-pandemic event.
The day of the event was beautiful and sunny, and the carnival attracted about 400 people. BCS would like to thank Taipei Economic and Culture Office Director Sophia Chuang, President of the Association of Northern California Chinese School, Lisa Wang, San Jose City Council Member, Dr. David Cohen, BUSD Superintendent Dr. Roxane Fuentes, BUSD Board of Trustees Kansen Chu and his wife, Hugo Jimenez, and Jai Srinivasan for attending our event. The school also presented teacher service awards to express our gratitude to our teachers.
The booths of this year’s carnivals were more diverse than in previous years. There were all kinds of hand-made delicious snacks, lunch boxes, fried rice noodles, braised pork rice, rice balls, Southeast Asian cuisine, cookies, Chinese pastries, beverages including bubble milk tea, milk tea, etc., which are popular among young people.
In addition to the food stalls, there are also game booths for the whole family to have fun, such as throwing hoops, tennis balls, sandbags, catching goldfish and other fun games, as well as flower arrangement stands carefully prepared by professional flower art teachers, and exquisite stationery and book booths .
Performances include kung fu, Chinese music performances, and the finale Halloween parade and contest. The participating students are all well-dressed and cute. Each participant receives a gift, and the winner receives a cash prize. Of course, there are many raffle drawings in carnival, and the winners receive exquisite gifts or gift certificates.
Thank you to all the board members, volunteers, teachers, parents, and classmates for their full planning and success in holding this Fall Carnival.
