Join us for a fun and exciting evening of student performances, crafts, and Chinese food at the Main Campus!
Xīnnián kuàilè! (新年快乐) means Happy New Year! It's pronounced "sshin-nyen kwhy-luh." 2017 is a Year of the Rooster. Years of a Rooster include 1933, 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005, 2017, and 2029; your Chinese zodiac sign is a rooster if you were born in those years. Roosters are trustworthy, hardworking, tender, determined, quick-witted, and compassionate.
Traditionally, families begin cleaning their homes and preparing for the festivities about a week or so before. The actual start of the 15-day Chinese New Year celebration is January 28. Learn more at http://www.chinahighlights.com/travelguide/festivals/new-year-facts.htm.
Bring your entire family for this school-wide celebration honoring the year of the rooster. Free; donations accepted.
