China day yay. (Happy new year people!)
At least these Chinese people get to take a break sometimes! They just work TOO hard during the year, that this two weeks break it's just totally deserved.
So rightly, we. Le students, celebrate as well. There will be shows in the QISS theater this Wednesday (1/18/'12). All middle-school students will be performing! This year's China Day will be totally different from the last one, as only students are involved in the show. In fact, the students are so much more involved that the whole stage settings and props are made-in-students.
Who are performing:
-Chinese classes' students
-Band classes' students
-Middle-school students in general
-ESL classes
EXPECT AWESOMENESS!

The Chinese New Year, also called the Spring Festival, is the most important holiday for ethnic Chinese people all around the world. The Chinese calendar and dates are traditionally based on changes of the moon, not the sun. The New Year starts at the beginning of this lunar (moon) calendar.The Chinese New Year is celebrated for fifteen days. On the holiday's eve, families come together to eat a meal in the evening. This meal is called the reunion dinner. No matter how far away they are, Chinese people will try to visit with their families at least this one time of the year.In 2012, Chinese New Year is on January 22nd

So are you going to have a nice trip away from the family during the break? Like, please don't because during the Chinese new year you are forced to stay with your family at home and eat Chinese food and watch Chinese TV program............p:
