On Thursday, February 19th, 1Y celebrated Lunar New Year.
The girls were encouraged to wear red, gold or traditional Chinese dresses. Parent volunteers ran different stations including: building hand drums, making dragon sand art, folding sheep fans, beading ‘Year of the Sheep’ necklaces, eating rice with chopsticks and dancing with dragon puppets.

Gr. 6 parent Susan Jackes planned a Valentine’s Tea Tasting for the Grade 6 class over their lunch hour. First Mrs. Jackes described the different teas on offer (even iced!), and then girls had a chance to sample all of them. The featured teas were from Steeped Tea, a Canadian company. She also prepared special Valentine’s treats for the occasion. Thank you Mrs. Jackes!
