3月21日，青焙坊学员们携带着课上制作的美味西点，愉悦地踏上前往少年宫微爵士音乐会的路途。铺路石公益中心邀请学员们为本次公益微爵士音乐会提供西式甜点。铺路石公益中心是青焙坊的合作伙伴，并为我们的学员提供英语课程。
由宋庆龄基金会赞助，上海之音国际合唱团、上海社区乐团以及Tico Cardenas爵士联袂演出。学员们刚刚摆好点心，就有寻觅蛋糕香气而至的观众们。当晚，青焙坊出品的蛋糕极受欢迎，几个小时的光景内就抢购一空！本次音乐会有许多国际友人参加，因而贩卖过程为学员们提供了练习口语的机会 ，铺路石教授的实用英文对话恰派上了用场。
演出时间学员们也入场聆听，为音乐厅的气氛与高质量的演奏深深地感染。大家都十分享受这个夜晚。学员小李说道：“生意很好，我们忙得不可开交，看到这么多人喜欢我们的蛋糕，虽然很累，但我很开心，和大家在一起售卖蛋糕的感觉非常棒，更不要说我还能练习说英语了。”
非常感谢铺路石公益中心对我们的教育支持，恭喜铺路石此次盛会取得了圆满成功！
On March 21st, SYB students headed to the Children’s Palace, arms loaded with the pastries and cakes that they had done during the week. They had been invited by Stepping Stones to provide refreshments for their fundraising concert: “A little bit of jazz”. Stepping Stones is a partner NGO of SYB and graciously provides English classes to the students.
Sponsored by Soong Ching Ling Foundation, the event featured bands and choirs such as the Shanghai Voices International Choir and the Tico Cardenas Latin Jazz Trio. No sooner had the young bakers started to unpack the pastries than clients arrived, attracted by the delicious smell of baked goods. SYB products were hugely popular that evening, and in a few hours everything was gone! This was a great opportunity for the students to practice the dialogues that Stepping Stones teachers have been teaching them.
Between two sales the students went to listen to the music, impressed by the atmosphere of the concert hall and the quality of the performers. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the evening. As Xiao Li said “We were so busy selling that I felt a bit tired, but at the same time I felt really happy that so many people enjoyed our cakes. I spent a very good time with my friends and was excited to be able to practice my English!”
Many thanks to Stepping Stones for their precious educational support, and congratulations for organizing such as successful event!
