First Program Students Ring in the Lunar New Year - The year of the Ox!



The Lunar New Year begins on the first new moon of the New Year. For many Asian families around the world, the Lunar New Year is a celebration of change and rings in all of the good and ends all of the bad.

To celebrate the Lunar New Year, students were delighted to hear stories told by parents and grandparents, eat delicious foods and join, in a dragon dance. They also tried on special clothing worn during this time of year and made vases for their lucky bamboo plants.

The 89th Street Cafeteria was taken over by First Program families Saturday, January 24th for our annual FP Bingo Day. Special thanks to Katy Shesh, chair for organizing such a fun-filled afternoon. The children loved hearing our guest bingo callers, Debbie Reilly, Fred White, Camille Ehrenberg, Kelvina Butcher and Janet Shaw. We appreciate the time they took out of their weekend to join us.
