Door Decorating Contest

As part of their Lunar New Year celebrations, Upper School advisories competed in a door decorating contest. Each advisory learned about the history and traditions of Lunar New Year and throughout January created couplets and fu characters to go on their doors. “It is a long upheld Chinese tradition and custom to hang bright red banners and signs with messages of good luck and fortune for the Lunar New Year,” said Middle and Upper Chinese teacher Mia Wu. Doors were judged on creativity and adaptability, artistic aesthetics, and cultural competence. Melissa Khoo’s advisory won the contest and Cassie Levesque’scame in second.
