转眼间到了2020年最后一个月，12月7日，青浦协和举办了以“往昔不易，未来可期” 为主题的升旗仪式。这即将过去的一年，是多灾多难的一年，也是充满不确定性的一年。国内外各种突发性事件，国际形势的变化，都牵动着我们的心。那么我们该如何展望未来，做好新的设想与规划？
In the last month of 2020, SUIS Qingpu held the flag raising ceremony with the theme of ‘Reflecting on the past will make for a better future’. This year 2020, has been widely believed witness the most events and international changes. So under these situations, do we have any forward-seeing plans?
鼓号声中护旗手们保卫着五星红旗进场，《义勇军进行曲》响起，五星红旗冉冉升起。青浦协和副校长、党支部书记葛顺勇为同学们致辞。一同回顾了特别的2020年，也对不同学段的同学提出寄语，鼓励大家对未来充满希冀。
The flag-guards, with their heads high, guarding the national flag with a solemn expression. Under the watchful eyes of all the teachers and students of our school, the “March of Volunteers” sounded again, and the five-star red flag rises slowly. First, Vice Principal & Secretary of the Communist Party Branch of SUIS Qingpu, Mr. Leo Ge sent a speech. He reviewed the special year of 2020, and made a New Year wish for the students from different year groups.
随后，十年级的顾竹漪同学带来了演讲。她从世界疫情到校园生活，向同学们分享了所思所想。告诉我们，在接受新事物的同时，回顾、总结过去经验非常重要，并鼓励大家在有限的时间里创造出无限的可能。
Then, Joy Gu, from Grade 10, shared her experience and told us that it is important to summarize and review what you have done while life is constantly refreshing. Opportunity is always given to those who are prepared. No matter what kind of problems and challenges we encounter in the future, we should never give up out longing and expectation for tomorrow.
此外，这也是一个感恩的时节。2020年，我校陆续收到爱心家长的捐赠物资。在今天的升旗仪式上，青浦协和中外方执行校长黄莹、Adam Neufield博士为我们的爱心家长颁发证书。是你们的爱心，温暖了青浦协和大家庭。
This is also a time of gratitude. In 2020, SUIS Qingpu has received donations from parents. At today’s flag-raising ceremony, the Co-acting principals of SUIS Qingpu, Ms. Sunny Huang and Dr. Adam Neufield presented certificates to our parents. It is your love that has warmed the lovely family.
2020年即将过去，新的一年近在眼前。相信当我们怀抱着希望、爱心与勇气，会以崭新的面貌迎接新年，拥抱未来！
The year 2020 will soon be gone, and the New Year will soon be upon us. We wish everyone have the great December of 2020 and embrace the brand new year with hope, love and courage.
