Marksmen Win Chinese Competition
On Saturday, September 30, 2017, 26 Marksmen were recognized as winners in the 2017 Chinese Calligraphy Competition hosted by the Confucius Institute at the University of Texas at Dallas. In addition, Chinese instructor Janet Lin was one of three teachers to receive the Best Instructor Award, and St. Mark’s was one of six schools given the Best School Participation Award.
