刚收到高中的临时通知，由于本周日上午高中篮球队需要占用大体育馆，因此受到影响的篮球课、羽毛球课和国标舞课将临时改至小体育馆进行（小体育馆就位于大体育馆的旁边）。

因临时调整给您带来的不便，我们深感抱歉！感谢您的理解与支持！

We have just received a last-minute notice from the high school that their basketball team will be using the Large Gym this Sunday morning. As a result, the affected basketball, badminton, and ballroom dance classes will temporarily be moved to the Small Gym (located right next to the Large Gym).

We apologize for any inconvenience this temporary adjustment may cause and thank you for your understanding and support.

The annual "Huaxia Cup" Debate Competition will be held in late April 2025, and we are now forming the debate team to represent our Millburn branch (MIOT). The MIOT Debate Team offers an excellent opportunity for students to develop their critical thinking and communication skills while representing the school. We warmly encourage students interested in Chinese debate to sign up.

Last year, our debate team won the North Division Junior Group and Senior Group championships at the "Huaxia Cup" Debate Competition. This year, we look forward to having more talented students join our strong debate team and continue to bring glory to our school.
