Mandarin Department Hosts Lunar New Year Celebration

Last week, 115 community members virtually celebrated Dalton’s annual Lunar New Year event with the Mandarin Department, Asian Cultures Club, and Asian Pacific American Parent Group.
In the virtual event, students, parents, and faculty from all three divisions enjoyed 10 song performances and took part in 12 different breakout rooms with interactive activities such as crafts, storytelling, trivia, and character writing. Sixteen lucky winners even won prizes at the Kahoot games breakout room and raffles.

A very special thanks to our 15 Asian Cultures Club (ACC) students for hosting breakout rooms as well as to Mandarin Teachers Cindy Wu and Liqi Semenov, MS Librarian and House Advisor Ms. Roxanne Feldman, and Director of the World and Classical Languages Department Dr. Lori Langer Ramirez for months of planning, hard work, and dedication to help make this event such a success.
 
If you’d like to see a taste of some of the evening, have a look at this wonderful Lunar New Year 2021 video that Cindy created. Xin Nian Kuai Le to everyone!
