四月，万物复苏，春意盎然。4月22日我们又将迎来“世界地球日”。因此，今天的升旗仪式，我们通过小品、相声、演讲的形式，呼吁协和学子选择绿色生活方式，践行垃圾分类，保护地球，珍惜我们赖以生存的家园。
April is the start of spring and the celebration of Earth Day. On April 22nd, SUIS students will spend time to take care of our planet. Combined with the theme of a green Earth, this school will show students the actions taken to protect our environment.
升旗仪式在庄严的国歌声中拉开序幕，全体起立，齐唱国歌，注视着五星红旗冉冉升起。
With the resonant national anthem playing, the five-star red flag is rising.
随后，小学部的罗嘉木同学、高中部商轩铭同学为大家带来小品《垃圾分类我能行》，用朗朗上口的儿歌，分享垃圾分类好方法。
Leo Luo from the primary school and Billy Shang from the high school delivered a mini drama “I Can Sort Garbage”. They used catchy children’s songs to share good practices for sorting garbage.
你拍一，我拍一，垃圾分类要牢记。
你拍二，我拍二，丢前颜色要看清。
你拍三，我拍三，蓝桶回收不简单。
你拍四，我拍四，红桶装有害物质。
你拍五，我拍五，绿色大桶装餐厨。
你拍六，我拍六，其他灰色把心留。
Let’s clap one, remember to separate garbage.
Clap two, tell the color of the bin before you throw it away.
Clap three, blue bin for recyclable waste.
Clap four, red bin for hazardous waste.
Clap five, green bin for household food waste.
Clap six, gray bin for residual waste.
初中部的黄诗昱、郝天祺、林莫涵三位同学则通过相声讲述生活中的环保轶事。语言轻松幽默，引得观众们笑声连连。
Three students, Kevin Huang, Tenzin Hao and Sara Lin from the middle school, used cross talk to tell anecdotes about environmental protection in their lives. The performance was humorous, and drew laughter from the audience.
欢笑过后，青浦协和外方执行校长Adam Neufield博士向同学们阐述了世界地球日的意义。
After the drama, Dr. Adam Neufield, Co-acting principal of SUIS Qingpu, explained the the meaning of Earth Day.
将关爱地球、关爱野生动物、关爱人类的有志之士团结起来；
呼吁各国政府采取环保措施；
鼓励人们从日常小事做起爱护地球；
做重大决策时，优先考虑地球的未来；
给我们一个机会表达对地球的所思所想。
To unite people who care about the planet, wildlife, and people;
To remind governments how important our Earth is;
To motivate people to do something for the Earth;
The make the future of our planet a priority;
And to give YOU a chance to say something about our Earth.
想要身体力行爱护地球，没有一个强健的体魄可不行。我校的健身中心已向初、高中学生、教职员工开放。今天升旗仪式的最后，协和教育集团总校长卢慧文，为捐赠健身中心的爱心家长赠送鲜花和证书。希望每一位青浦协和人都能养成持续健身的好习惯，拥有绿色生活方式，从我做起，践行绿色地球理念！
If we want to take good care of the earth, we must have a strong body. Our school’s fitness center has been opened to middle and high school students, faculty and staff. At the end of today’s flag-raising ceremony, Ms. Maxine Lu, General Principal of the Xiehe Education Group, presented flowers and certificates to the parent who donated to the fitness center. We hope that every person in Qingpu Xiehe can develop good habits such as playing sports and living a green life!
