FOLLOWING ARE DR. PROCTOR'S REMARKS FROM THE 56th COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES HELD ON MAY 25, 2019  Schoolwork is a funny thing. It is easiest when approached logically, completed well ahead of time, and reviewed for potential improvement.

 Dr. Proctor signs the partnership agreement with Principal Wu during his visit to Nanchang North Cross Sino-American School. Sometimes things happen so quickly at North Cross, it is difficult to keep up.

 Dr. Proctor with some of the students from Escuela Italiano. I hesitate to say it but by the time you are reading this letter we will be within a few weeks of the first day of school. For the younger members of the community, I am sure this is a frightening development, but for the adult crowd, there may be a bit of excitement at the prospect. Regardless, count this letter as a reminder to make the most of the remainder of the summer.
