POBJFKHS Celebrates Lunar New Year

Students and staff across the Plainview-Old Bethpage Central School District welcomed the Year of the Snake with vibrant Lunar New Year celebrations. At Plainview-Old Bethpage John F. Kennedy High School, the Chinese Honor Society organized a series of engaging activities and live performances to honor this special holiday.

Throughout the week of January 24th, Chinese Honor Society students hosted an interactive cultural table outside the cafeteria, where students could learn about Lunar New Year traditions, participate in fun activities, and test their knowledge with a short quiz.

Later in the week, students enjoyed live performances, including a diabolo (Chinese yo-yo) demonstration, a traditional lion dance, and a music performance, all of which provided an exciting start to the school day. Additionally, the Chinese Honor Society created a handcrafted Lunar New Year display, adding a festive touch to the celebration.

The events, led by Chinese Honor Society advisor and Chinese language teacher Ellen Huang, provided a way for students to engage with and celebrate the spirit of this important holiday.
