Second, Chinese New Year (CNY) is major celebration at the school where students can have fun and parents can socialize. The school is hosting a CNY party and pot-luck in the school's cafeteria from 7PM to 9PM this Friday, Feb. 08. 

Here are some important things to know:

• All students report to the cafeteria. The classrooms will be closed.
• Please bring a food dish (preferably related to Chinese New Year) and serving utensils by 6:45PM. Also label the ingredients of the food to avoid possible allergic reaction.
• Parents may wish to enter their dish for the food contest. The dish must be submitted for judging by 6:45PM.
• Room parents will be asking parents to help serve the food.
• The school will provide plates, spoons, forks, napkins, paper cups, and water.
• The cafeteria will have tables and chairs for students and parents to eat and socialize.
• The party begins at 7PM with a speech from the Principal. Then food will be served. At approximately 7:30PM, Student Council has organized several games and prizes for the students. In addition, Student Council has provided several adult games that parents can participate. There will not be any performances this year.
• The party will end at 8:45PM and clean-up begins.

On behalf of the WVCLS Board, we wish everyone:

新年吉祥 (Good Fortune in the New Year)
合家幸福 (Happiness to Your Family)
四季平安 (Year-Round Peace and Prosperity)
