Gates Celebrates Lunar New Year

On Friday February 14th, Gates students enjoyed a Lunar New Year Celebration thanks to a generous cultural enrichment grant from the Gates PTO. Lion Dancers and Kung Fu performers from Wai Lum Kung Fu and Tai Chi demonstrated their skills. Students learned the significance of this popular Chinese celebration while dancing and cheering on the amazing performers. Some of our students were lucky enough to catch flying fruit that the Lion launched into the crowd of Gates students. Mr. Beattie was presented with a snake to commemorate the year of the snake. The Gates students and staff are thankful to our generous PTO for this amazing show. Happy New Year to all!
