HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR! CELEBRATION ON FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 5TH
Did you know that each Chinese New Year is characterised by one of 12 animals which appear in the Chinese zodiac? The Chinese zodiac is divided into 12 blocks (or houses) and each house has a time-length of one year. This year is the Year of the Monkey, the ninth animal in the cycle. Please be sure to look for the stunning dragon hanging from the ceiling outside of the first grade classroom. Thank you to all of Mrs. Karnuta's art classes who created this one-of-a-kind display!
All students are invited to wear traditional Chinese attire on both Friday, February 5th and Monday, February 8th.
If students do not have traditional attire to wear these 2 days, they are welcome to wear something RED. ON FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 5TH, LUNCH WILL BE A TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEAL. WE CAN'T WAIT!
