Looking Ahead
Lunar New Year Assembly
Lunar New Year is a celebration that marks the beginning of the lunar calendar, and is a time for families to come together, honor their ancestors, and celebrate new beginnings. Each year is associated with one of the 12 zodiac animals, and traditional customs include feasting, giving red envelopes for good luck, and cleaning to sweep away bad fortune.
Parents and community members are invited to join us at Rochambeau at 1:45pm for this special assembly. Our school community can join in the celebration by wearing red to school for good luck.
We are excited to share that the Tat Wong Kung Fu Academy will be coming to Kittredge on Monday, January 27th for a Lion Dance performance to celebrate Lunar New Year. Tat Wong can also offer a Lunar New Year FREE Introductory class for families and/or students of Kittredge School who want to try Kung Fu during Jan & Feb if they mention 'Tat Wong Kung Fu Lion Dance' when contacting the school.
