We celebrated Lunar New Year with a variety of activities, including morning announcements from students in our Middle and Upper School Chinese classes explaining the significance of the two-week holiday, pre-recorded videos from all three divisions featuring song and silk fan making, and a riveting, live performance from Chinese acrobat Mr. Yang Xiao Di.

During all lunch blocks, students were treated to a sumptuous lunch of special dishes in honor of the holiday, including fried rice, steamed Chinese buns with Peking duck, and fresh oranges.

We invite you to take a look at the following videos and celebrate with us.
