Chinese New Year Parade

Upper School Chinese foreign exchange students joined some of our early childhood morning students for a Chinese New Year parade through the early childhood and lower school buildings.  It was so much fun having them participate with our young children and we thank them for coming.
There was a dragon, sparkle wands, noise makers, musical instruments, lanterns, and symbols for the Year of the Goat/Sheep.  Many EC students dressed in red or traditional Chinese clothes and all students received a red envelope at the end of the parade.  In China, this envelope is usually filled with money and candy but our envelopes had two pennies for good luck, a fortune cookie, and a hug coupon, redeemable with any other person.  Happy Chinese New Year!
