由启明星7年级学生周武正王（Jack Zhou) 创作、制作并演唱的歌曲《武汉Fighting！》

两周前我们发起了“启明星团结战疫”活动，旨在将当下身处天南地北的启明星社区大家庭团结起来，用我们的爱心共同支持武汉战胜疫情。活动以自愿参与为原则，大家展现出的热情令我们倍感振奋。

在此背景下，启明星大家庭再次凝聚了起来。

活动一经发起，250余份学生作品和员工作品就纷至沓来。这其中有绘画、作文、诗歌朗诵、钢琴演奏，还有原创的说唱歌曲。丰富的作品所展现出的深情厚意令我们深受感动。

上周二，我们将收到的全部作品集结展示，收到了大家的热烈回应和热情捐款。起初，我们将捐款目标定在20,000元，在大家的积极响应和支持下，截至目前，我们已经筹到了善款34,382元。

此次活动的意义不仅仅在于善款的筹得，这更是一次宝贵的经历。让我们来听听学生、家长、老师的反馈吧！

“我想通过自己的作品感谢战斗在一线的工作人员帮我们打败病毒。我希望疫情能赶快结束，医护人员能早日回家和家人团聚。”

-- 4年级学生 许曦元

“一想起武汉的事我就很难过，想到那些跟病毒斗争的叔叔阿姨爷爷奶奶们得有多辛苦，我就想给他们鼓鼓劲儿，心情一激动就唱出了老师教我的《国歌》，给武汉加油，把病毒打败！”

-- CASA学生 宋治轩

“我的孩子了解了疫情之后，一直想要做点什么。很高兴学校可以组织这样的活动，让孩子们有机会发出自己的声音，并且通过活动鼓励孩子们要有一颗向善助人的心！”

-- 1年级学生 贺一言家长

“这项活动很好地体现了启明星是一个什么样的社区。在我们的学校，“服务”是最根本的一种精神。所以，在这个非常需要大家守望相助的时期，我们再次团结在一起，支持武汉，支持中国。学生们都说这个活动‘非常有意义，也很有趣，可以表达大家的同理心。’ ”

-- 中学视觉艺术教师 朱宁

大家在捐款之余，也纷纷留下了自己的感言，用发自内心的鼓励和加油，祝福武汉早日战胜疫情。

感谢启明星双语学校的学生们、家长们、同事们和朋友们给予这次活动的热情支持！我们每个人的微薄力量汇集在一起，中国坚决抗击新冠病毒的集体战役一定会胜利！ 武汉加油！中国加油！

Wuhan Fighting!  Written, sung and produced by 周武正王Jack Zhou (grade seven student).

When we launched our “Daystar United Against Coronavirus” initiative two weeks ago, it was hard to envision the outcome.  Everything was on a voluntary basis. The goal was simply to come together as a community, despite being separated from one another during this time.

And come together, we certainly did.

We received over 250 wonderful submissions from our students and staff. They ranged from drawings, paintings, words of encouragements, poem recitals, playing the piano, to an original rap song from a seventh grader. The breadth, passion, and sincerity of each and every work were simply overwhelming.

Last Tuesday, we shared the videos showcasing all of the submissions, and friends and families of Daystar community have been generously donating. We had set a modest goal of 20,000 RMB. To date, we have already received over 34,382 RMB in donations.

But it’s not about the amount raised. It’s about so much more than that. Let's hear directly from the students, parents, and teachers.

"I wanted to, through my work, send my gratitude to all the medical staff fighting on the frontline and trying to defeat the virus. And I hope that the outbreak can come to an end soon, and they can return home and meet with their families as soon as possible."

-- Tia Xu，Grade 4 student

"I feel so bad for the people of Wuhan city. I can’t even imagine how difficult it is for all the people there fighting against the coronavirus. I want to do my best and give them a little bit encouragement, so I got excited and sang the Chinese national anthem my teacher taught me. I hope Wuhan city can defeat the virus soon."

-- Eric Song ，CASA student 

"My child always wanted to do something to help after knowing about this coronavirus outbreak. So, I’m glad that Daystar has organized such activities to give our children an opportunity to speak out, and encourage them to be kind and helpful."

  -- Parent of He Yiyan, Grade 1 student

"I think the “Daystar Against Coronavirus Project” is the perfect testament to the type of community we have at Daystar. Our school has always been rooted in service and it's no surprise that now, during a dire time of need, we are uniting once again to show support to Wuhan and China. Students have voiced that the project “is very meaningful and interesting, and can help spread empathy."

                                                             -- Anna Zhu , Secondary School Visual Arts Teacher

Apart from the donation, family and friends of Daystar Community also left numerous messages of love and support to show solidarity with the people in Wuhan and others who have been affected by the virus.

Students, parents, colleagues and friends of Daystar Academy, thank you for your warm support. You have helped us play a small role in China’s resolute and collective fight against COVID-19. So, please accept our sincere thanks and gratitude. Wuhan, Jiayou. China, Jiayou.
