✨Yesterday’s Lunar New Year celebrations!✨
Lunar New Year at FAA was more than just a celebration – it was a chance for our students to immerse themselves in traditions, learn something new, and share meaningful moments together. 🎇🏮
From crafting lanterns and writing their names in Cantonese to decorating their classrooms and dressing in red for good luck, they embraced the spirit of the holiday. One of our students, Alina, even shared her family’s traditions with her classmates, bringing traditional food and leading a special
presentation. 🇨🇳🧧
These experiences help our students see the world through different perspectives, fostering curiosity, understanding, and a sense of global community.🌏
