This week, the Parents’ Association Passport Series hosted a Chinese New Year Celebration, where approximately 60 parents attended along with faculty and staff. Head of School Lisa Lyle kicked off the celebration by blowing the 8-foot Tibetan horn. In addition, attendees learned about the various traditions and symbolism of the Chinese New Year. They enjoyed a variety of Chinese foods and desserts, thanks to the parents who provided them.
« We are so enriched by your families’ presence in our MICDS community, and we are honored that you have chosen to be a part of our School, » said Lisa Lyle during the event, where parents from a variety of nationalities were in attendance. « It is important that we as adults celebrate one another and model what it looks like to interact and learn from those whose backgrounds are different from ours. »
