LUNAR NEW YEAR 

Feb 9, 2024 | Inclusive Excellence, Recent News

In celebration of Lunar New Year, the Chinese Parent Affinity Group hosted a dumpling-making (and eating!) event for the Upper School last week. Students learned how to fill and crimp vegetable and chicken dumplings as our Cater to You staff boiled them and brought them out to eat! It was a delicious moment of gathering! Thank you again to our Chinese Parent Affinity Group. Stay tuned for our last lunar new year celebration before the holiday this Saturday.
