Read MoreDear Belkos, Just wanted you to know about what we at the preschool are thinking of doing. We will put up a Peace Pole at our new campus and have one of the plaques in Chinese "May Peace Prevail on Earth" in memory of Michael. We have our dedication this Friday and have our first day on April 4th. Then we will think of a good place for the pole. When it is up, we will invite you over! Love, Mrs. Miriam

Dear Belko Family,
I just learned the shocking news about Michael and still could not believe it. Michael was a great student when he was in my class at TO Chinese School. His passion for Chinese has been always touching me and he motivated not only himself but many other students around him. At the end of the school year, he finished the second place in Class 7A and we were working on a fellowship application for his excellent academic performance. He was one of the best students...
