On January 23, dozens of members from across the ECFS community gathered to usher in the Year of the Rat in an all-school Lunar New Year celebration.
Upper School students studying Mandarin Chinese emceed the event and hosted tables offering various traditional crafts and activities, including tea ceremonies, paper lanterns, and riddles. The night also featured performances of lion dance and bianlian, a Chinese operatic form in which the performer rapidly changes masks to depict different characters.
For many, the highlight of the night was the chance to fold, cook, and eat hundreds of dumplings, which were served alongside other homemade dishes contributed by the community.
