Dalton’s Mandarin Team hosted a Lunar New Year Celebration for families on Zoom on Thursday, January 27. Families participated in raffles and enjoyed student performances and breakout sessions, including Skribbl, trivia, origami, paper cutting, lantern making, drawing, stories, and Fishtopia.

In conjunction with this year’s Music Department curriculum "Music Around the World," Department Co-chairs Bill Solomon and Liz Cruz invited Mandarin teachers Liqi Semenov and Cindy Wu to visit the 4th grade Music classes to teach the Lunar New Year song: Gong Xi. 

Students presented a spirited performance of the song on January 27.
