在北京乐成国际学校，未来由学生定义

　　The fourteenth Spring in the City was recently held on a gorgeous sunny day to resounding success. With great weather on our side, a turnout of over 2,500 participants showed up for fun under the sun! The community and beyond came together and spent a wonderful day of excitement and joy playing games, watching lively entertainment, and eating good food. Following our school motto of acting “for the good of all and the sustainable development of the world,” we are proud to announce that profits from raffle tickets sold on the day were over 10,000 RMB, which will be donated to a charity in the near future. In addition, profits from the Grade 2 tote bags sold will also be given to a charity of their choosing.

　　在成年人眼中，孩子便是未来，因为他们身上散发着新生的阳光，充满了无畏的朝气，于是，我们将期盼寄托于他们身上，希望他们带领我们去见识明天的世界。那么在孩子们看来，未来又有着怎么样的定义，他们期盼着的未来又是什么样子呢？在今年的第14届北京乐成国际学校（BCIS）春季游园会上，“未来”由BCIS的学生定义。本届游园会吸引了超过2500名游客参加，伴着暖阳和微风，一起感受春日的美好。

　　Under the theme of “The Future,” the event’s entire setting served as the ideal platform for fantastic artwork created by Grade 2 students (with honorary mention going to the Grade 6 students for also helping create some interesting posters to promote the fair). Throughout the second part of this school year, the Elementary School students worked diligently on making products (robots, crazy pens, space helmets anyone?) for the big event. Their works were showcased at the entrance in a “boxed” exhibition that was actually designed by a Grade 2 student!

　　未来是更深入的太空探索——小学生总能给我们带来意外的惊喜，这一届的春季游园会主题“未来”，便是在2年级同学的头脑风暴下诞生的。学生在老师的指导下设计创作出了很多描绘未来的艺术品：不同于传统铁皮质感的橘色机器人、拥有循环再利用功能的太空设备、童真的绘画、造型创意感十足的飞行器等等。他们还把自己的创意思路写在小纸条上，和设计图纸一起展示在艺术品旁边。本着乐成倡导环保与可持续性发展的原则，这些艺术作品大多是用废旧材料做成的——快递纸箱、闲置的橡皮泥、塑料空瓶、二手打印纸……未来美好生活的实现也同样需要现在的我们切身做好身边一点一滴的环保小事。游园会当天，我们将2年级学生创作的艺术品摆放在入口的“宇宙黑洞“中，来到BCIS的各位游客穿过时光隧道，映入眼帘的便是BCIS学生们眼中的未来。此外，2年级同学的艺术作品也被拍成照片，印在了环保袋上现场销售，全部收入都将捐赠给BCIS发起的“还孩子一张笑脸”慈善项目。

　　Of course, a festival is not a festival without entertaining performances, and there were plenty at this year’s Spring in the City. Some of the highlights include beautiful songs sung by our ECC students; taekwondo exhibition; Enrichment Activities Music bands; ES and SS student rock bands; belly dance special by members of the PTA; SS choir and ensemble; and more. Two amazing acts that graced our presence were the teacher bands “Chew the Bone” and “End of the World,” who made attendees move their feet and dance to fun rhythms with their upbeat tunes. It should be noted that much praise and thanks should be given to all the teachers, students, parents, and staff members involved for making this year’s event highly memorable! It was truly a community effort.

　　未来为你提供绽放自信的舞台——本届游园会我们也一如既往地为未来的主人，BCIS的学生们搭建了高规格的舞台。幼儿园的小朋友们卖力地唱唱跳跳呆萌可爱，小学的学生则演唱了准备许久的原创版游园会主题曲，BCIS的老师和社区成员也带来了点燃现场热情的乐队演奏。我们也希望，今天的舞台能够成为学生们未来舞台的起点，期待他们一步步的成熟绽放。与此同时，中学设计与技术大展也同期拉开帷幕，数十件结合了经典与未来的时尚与科技杰作呈现在大家面前，或许在不久的未来，下一位John Ive将在他们中诞生。

　　未来不会缺少欢乐的游戏——游戏作为BCIS春季游园会的保留节目一直深受到场的孩子们喜欢，尤其是水上小船、水上跷跷板和海洋球3个游戏总是令他们流连忘返。老师们也准备了套圈、扔飞镖、园艺等多种简单有趣的互动游戏，成为孩子们心中对游园会的独家记忆。 游园会压轴戏幸运大抽奖还准备了乐高玩具、恐龙模型、餐饮券、拍立得相机等重磅大奖，家长委员会（PTA）和学校领导团队也提供了众多精美礼品，游客通过购买抽奖券的方式参与其中。特别值得一提的是，抽奖券出售带来的壹万元收入也全部用于公益事业。在为BCIS社区成员带来欢乐的同时，也为需要帮助的孩子带去未来与希望。

　　未来的市集丰富多彩——今年的春季游园会，我们依旧邀请了涵盖餐饮、零售、品牌三大领域的数十个优质商家加入，在为游客提供服务的同时，也将多元的文化带进了社区。午餐时间餐饮类商家忙得不可开交，深受中国家长们喜爱的还要数热气腾腾的煎饼，热狗和日式大阪烧也深受孩子们喜欢，现场烹制美味鲜嫩的牛排更是老少皆宜中西合璧，补货一轮又一轮。

　　Spring in the City 2019 was another great chapter in the event’s history. Bellies were filled, fun was had, dancing was done, and smiles were had by everyone. We are already looking forward to next year’s fun!

　　这一次的春季游园会虽已落幕，但未来依旧充满期待。孩子们眼中的未来，在BCIS呈现；未来的BCIS，需要孩子的智慧。最后，我们真诚的感谢所有BCIS社区成员及喜爱BCIS校园文化的朋友的参与，更由衷感谢所有赞助商对活动成功举办的大力支持，也感谢那些为游园会默默辛勤付出的幕后英雄们。未来不会再见，我们2020年春季游园会再见！
