National Dali High School (Taiwan): National Dali High School had a three-point connection with Princeton High School/Princeton Elementary School (MN) & K.D. Markley Elementary School, (PA). Real-time bidding took place while NDHS auctioned unique calligraphy bookmarks, Taiwan shirts, Lemonade shirts, Lemonade stickers & badges, LIVE through videoconference and so did Princeton with their Princeton Tiger shirts & hoodies! They have also been working in collaboration with Business, Marketing and Diversity classes of Prof. Bernard Gibson at Folsom Lake College to solicit donations from enterprises in California. Folsom Lake students held creative, interactive lemonade stands while National Dali students performed the art of Chinese calligraphy (translating donors’ names and writing in Chinese calligraphy) and gave traditional musical performances. Both schools videoconferenced and even had a LIVE raffle draw for best-effort awards!
