Classes are open to all CLIP and Meyerholz Elementary students. ASEP initially started with three major components, after school classes, Chinese language contests and Chinese New Year Parade Team. Due to the size and success of the language contest and parade team, both programs were split off and managed as their own entity. The classes offered have varied over the years. Each year ASEP has provided an average of eight classes each year. They range from performing arts to visual arts and from traditional techniques to modern. ASEP is a fully self-funded non-profit program. The large number of parent volunteers are key in keeping the overhead low and the quality high. Each year, ASEP puts on two major showcase performances. The winter showcase gives all the performing classes a chance to highlight what they have worked on to family and friends. At the CLIPCO spring banquet, they perform for a wider audience and help celebrate the year’s graduating classes. The visual arts classes also get a chance to shine at these events through slide shows and displays at the events. In addition to the two annual showcases, ASEP performers have been invited to perform for many events for the Cupertino and educational community. Some of the events include CEEF and CABE banquets, CLIPCO’s Chinese New Year celebration, RAFT celebration, and Cupertino’s Fall Festival. ASEP students have also won awards from the Santa Clara young artists competition and Chinese Language competitions. ASEP also presented by our students at the Cupertino school board meeting as the Meyerholz highlight this year. **List of Classes offered:** Chinese Calligraphy Chinese Sing and Learn Chinese Brush Painting Cartoon Drawing Claymation <span style="background-color: #feffff; color: #606060; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 0.75em; text-align: left;">Dance (Chinese/Modern) <span style="background-color: #feffff; color: #606060; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 0.75em; text-align: left;">Lion Dance <span style="background-color: #feffff; color: #606060; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 0.75em; text-align: left;">Chinese Flute <span style="background-color: #feffff; color: #606060; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 0.75em; text-align: left;">Chinese Percussion <span style="background-color: #feffff; color: #606060; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 0.75em; text-align: left;">Wushu <span style="background-color: #feffff; color: #606060; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 0.75em; text-align: left;">Learning Chinese Through Baking <span style="background-color: #feffff; color: #606060; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 0.75em; text-align: left;">Chinese Literature and Logic Thinking <span style="background-color: #feffff; color: #606060; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 0.75em; text-align: left;"> <span style="background-color: #feffff; color: #606060; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small; text-align: left;">Meyerholz CLIP After school Enrichment Program <span style="background-color: #feffff; color: #606060; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small; text-align: left;">We thrive to provide the most quality program to our community.
