我們的家庭專欄首先要介紹的是曾任中華學苑副校長的何娜以及她的家庭：媽媽何娜，爸爸許詩中，兩個孩子分別是十歲的許蓁瑜與七歲的許書弘。
「勇於承擔與家庭責任心，這兩點對我們而言很重要。」 基於這樣的信念，何娜毅然決定減少工作的時數，將時間投入孩子學校的義工工作，陪伴兩個孩子一齊成長。
爸爸許詩中則認為「運動」非常重要，他在家中的角色是私人運動教練，推動一家人運動的好習慣。他們夫妻倆慢跑時，孩子們在一旁騎單車。另外，他也鼓勵孩子們踢足球，在比賽時為他們加油打氣。姐姐的足球隊更在之前的球季贏得 Presidio League與 Presidio Cup的頭籌。
兩個孩子也培養了其他嗜好：弟弟有副好歌喉，姐姐擅長彈古箏。喜歡閱讀的他們，更是4S Ranch圖書館分館的常客。此外，多才多藝的姐姐更在學校Stone Ranch Elementary擔任學生會的副會長。今年夏天在San Diego County Fair，她的繪畫作品也深獲好評呢。
在此特別感謝何娜與家人的分享。（內容摘自92127 Magazine。）
This year the Community Corner and Parent Corner here also serves as a bulletin board which is open to all parents and staff at SDCA.
