Woodhull students celebrated the spirit of the Lunar New Year, learning about the vibrant traditions and rich cultural significances.

Karen McNulty’s first and second grade students learned that the color red is a powerful color, symbolizing good fortune and prosperity, which is why red envelopes are an integral part of the Lunar New Year celebrations. To honor the occasion, students made their own red envelopes and created snakes, to celebrate the Year of the Snake.

Jeanene Crawson’s prekindergarten and kindergarten students joined the celebration by making snakes and fire-breathing dragons. These colorful creations were waved throughout the school as students joyfully wished the school community a Happy New Year.
