As we welcome the Year of the Snake on January 29th, 2025, the PTA is delighted to organize our second annual Lunar New Year celebration in the school. To enrich the students' cultural experience and to celebrate this festival that is unique to certain Asian communities in the nation and across the globe, we have curated a list of activities and traditions for the students and staff to enjoy. The students have been working with our art teacher, Ms. Vazirani, to make handmade decorations, which will be on display mainly in the auditorium. In the first week of February, parent volunteers will come in to help decorate the school with traditional Lunar New Year decorations to make it look festive. Two lion dance performances by the Chinatown Community Young Lions will take place on February 13th for students of all grades in the auditorium as a highlight of this cultural celebration. We wish you Xin Nian Kuai Le! 新年快樂! Gong Xi Fa Cai! 恭喜發財!
