Lunar New Year Celebrations

Students in all divisions celebrated Lunar New Year, including a special Community Dinner in Upper School. Students worked with Dining Services to create a delicious meal that included special performances and even a dragon dance!

We thank the parents who decorated the Lower and Middle School lobbies, and the Lower School parents who came in as guest readers and did special activities for students! During Gathering, Lower School students and teachers had an incredible time donning their red clothing, symbolizing good luck. They listened intently to 6th grader, Stella, read a selection about Lunar New Year. Fifth grader, Chris, explained the folklore behind the tradition of children receiving an envelope of lucky money. Lower School students Bowen, Tiarra, Chris, Charles, Cali, Cami, Jeremiah, Carolina, and Amelia shared their traditions in this video. Immense joy filled the room as students saw their classmates sharing an incredibly important part of their heritage with the greater community.
