Anaheim students ring in Lunar New Year
Saturday marks Chinese New Year, and in Anaheim, elementary school students are using the occasion to learn about other cultures.
The Anaheim Elementary School District is hosting a Lunar New Year celebration at Roosevelt Elementary Friday morning to honor the beginning of the Year of the Dragon.
Mandarin was added to the district’s dual-language immersion program this year, and the transitional kindergarten students will participate in the program.
Also featured will be a traditional lion dance, and each student will receive a red envelope, “a symbol of good luck for the New Year,” the district said in a news release.
“The event hopes to educate the greater student body about various cultures and traditions in our area,” the district added.
