Happy Chinese New Year! It is now the year of the monkey. Actually, the first day of the new year was February 8th, but CCS is celebrating today with a special chapel.
Zachy was chosen to be part of the color guard today. He was nervous about it, but did a great job!

 Alex's class sang a song in Mandarin. (This is both third grade classes.)

 Here are the words so you can sing along next time.

The next evening, the PTF sponsored a cultural event. There was lots of food, beautiful Asian dancing (that Mady loved and tried to imitate), Taiko drummers (which is so powerful) and a Kung Fu demonstration.

We are so proud of Alex for getting up in front of his school and performing his routine by himself.
