The Dragon, revered for its nobility and power, encourages us to approach the year ahead with bravery and optimism. It's a call to embody the dragon's spirit, facing challenges with resilience and embracing opportunities with enthusiasm.
Cultural Immersion and Learning
In honor of this auspicious occasion, our classrooms plan activities designed to immerse our students in the traditions and customs of the Chinese New Year.
