The Career Center’s third-annual Chinese New Year
celebration was a success! Mrs. Valoris,
the Chinese teacher at Career Center, organized events that welcomed the Year
of the Rooster! The students were very engaged in cultural activities,
including Chinese games, food, and music.
With help from the wonderful Culinary classes, thousands of dumplings
and spring rolls were served to the delight of everyone in the Career
Center. Under the supervision of
Principal Dr. Nichols and Assistant Principal Ms. Hayes, Chef Daughtry and Chef
Owens, the event went smoothly and cordially.
While many students may not have realized it at the time,
the Chinese New Year celebration was first and foremost an educational
opportunity.
From the Chinese yoyo station to the Chopstick Challenge, each and
every hands-on activity served the intrinsic purpose of educating students of
the world’s most populated country’s culture. Facets of Chinese art, history,
language, and customs were melded seamlessly in a way that not only brought
people together for a fun time, but also helped promote the values of
multiculturalism and equality.
