The second graders went on a wonderful field trip to the Chinese Cultural Center. Students experienced a traditional presentation, tried their hand at making (and eating) dumplings, and made beautiful lanterns out of traditional red envelops.
The red envelop symbolizes energy, happiness and good luck. Sending red packets is a channel for sending good wishes and luck. Those who receive a red packet are wished another year negotiated safely and peacefully.
To our friends of Chinese heritage, we wish you Gong Hey Fat Choy! Happy New Year!
