Kathleen N. Straus, President of State Board of Education (2008)
Dear Friends:
I am honored to extend greetings on behalf of Michigan’s State Board of Education to our friends in the Chinese community. It is a pleasure to welcome to New Tang Dynasty Television’s Chinese New Year Spectacular to Michigan.
The members of the State Board of Education encourage the teaching of Chinese history and Mandarin in our schools. We recognize the importance of building ties to your community and China, and appreciate the many contributions that you and the Oriental Culture Association of Michigan are making to our state.
Best wishes for a wonderful Chinese New Year Spectacular and a healthy, peaceful New Year.
Sincerely,
Kathleen N. Straus
President
State Board of Education
