The Pioneer Valley Chinese Immersion Charter School, one of the few on the east coast and  the only one in Massachusetts is located nearby in Hadley Mass. It meets all the state requirements for kindergarten and elementary schools and PVCICS administers the mandated MCAS tests to its students.

In the younger ages 75 percent of instruction is accomplished in Chinese transitioning in later years to 25 percent and as a crucial part of the program students are introduced to Chinese Language Arts and culture.

 A benefit concert to help support the program will take place on Friday night, June 4th at Memorial Hall in Shelburne Falls with Chris Smither as the performer. This will be Chris’ last performance in this area this year. If you are not familiar with his music, we recently posted a review here after his concert in Natick.

To help promote the concert, Hilltown Families is offering a drawing for those who register on-line with 4 free tickets and a cd as the prize. Make sure you enter no later than Fri, May 28th.

Tickets can be purchased online or in person at Elmer’s/Ashfield, Mocha Mayas/Shelburne Falls, World Eye Bookshop /Greenfield.
