That Day The World Took Note 那一天,世界知道了我們的想法

Scholastic winner Iris Chen ’20 interviews a student for a writing piece.

Writers and artists at Shanghai American School abound. Thankfully, so do opportunities for them to express themselves.

上海美國學校有許多作家和藝術家。幸運的是，他們進行自我表達的機會也很多。

We’re not just talking about the courses we offer, nor the world-class teachers, spaces, exhibitions, and visiting professionals that all represent ways we foster the creative spirits amongst us. Because we all know the truth is that the real work, the stubbornly sitting down each day to hone inspiration into a craft, this can only come from within the artist themselves. It is not a journeyfor the faint of heart.

我們指的并不僅僅是學校的課程，我們世界一流的老師、空間和表現或到訪學校的專業人士。誠然，所有這些都有助于培養創新精神。但我們深知，只有真正的藝術家才能每天靜下心來將靈感轉化成實際的作品。這并不是意志薄弱的人能夠做到的。

"SAS students of all agesseize

opportunities to submit to writing contestsand let their work shine"

Within our school and the demands of growing up, we haveartists in our midst who continue to create amazing work. And we aren’t the only ones who think so. Year after year, SAS students of all ages seize opportunities to submit to writing contests and let their work shine. LittleStar’s Short Story Competition for China just revealed SAS winners in every age category, including First Prize for 16+ going to Carlos Lao ’19.

在學校，盡管學生們面臨著成長的壓力，很多青少年藝術家依舊能夠不斷創作出令人稱贊的作品。并不是只有我們這樣認為。每年，上海美國學校各年齡段的學生都會抓住機會，參加各種寫作比賽，展示他們的作品。LittleStar中國短篇小說大賽剛剛公布了上海美國學校每個年齡組的獲獎者，其中上海美國學校十二年級學生Carlos Lao在16歲以上年齡組中榮獲了一等獎。

This year also brought out our writers and artists for the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards, featuring 24 awards for SAS student writers and another 24 for student artists. Those winning a first place recognition then advanced to the global competition, and four writers, Richard Xue ’23, Iris Chen ’20, Nicole Li ’20, and Claire Lu ’20 moved on to become international winners.

今年，上海美國學校的小作家和小藝術家們在美國藝術與寫作大賽中大放異彩，我們的學生作家和藝術家分別榮獲了24個獎項。隨后一等獎的獲得者參加了國際比賽，其中四位作家——上海美國學校八年級學生Richard Xue以及十一年級的Iris Chen、Nicole Li和Claire Lu——在國際比賽中斬獲了獎項。

LittleStar Winning Stories from past years

Still in middle school, Richard Xue ’23 has now won consecutivenational medalsin the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards (as a 7th and 8th grader respectively). “To me, writing has always helped me convey my emotions and beliefs,” he says. “Whether it’s through crafting a journalism piece and hinting at a perspective, or through creating a short story that reveals a certain theme, the use of pen and paper (or for my generation, keyboard and screen) helps make my voice heard. In my opinion, this is the most enjoyable part of writing.”

“To me, writing has always helped me

convey my emotions and beliefs”

上海美國學校八年級學生Richard Xue還在讀初中，但他已經在美國藝術與寫作大賽中連續兩次獲得了全國獎牌（分別作為七年級和八年級學生參賽）。他表示：“對于我來說，寫作總是能夠幫助我表達自己的情感和信仰。不論是撰寫一篇新聞報道，選擇一個角度進行寫作，還是圍繞一個特定的主題創作一篇小說，我可以說使用紙筆（或者是對于我們這一代來說，鍵盤和屏幕的使用）來發聲。在我看來，這是寫作最有趣的地方?！?/p>

We love supporting our young writers and artists as they grow and learn to make their words powerful and heard in the world. Onward, you voices of tomorrow. We are listening.

我們樂于為學校的小作家和小藝術家們提供支持，讓他們繼續學習、成長，使世界聽到他們更有力量的聲音。加油，你們是未來的聲音，我們正在仔細聆聽。

WRITERS.EVERY DAY AT SAS.
