With wonderful team collaboration and parental support, the 2019 Chinese New Year Celebration was a great success! The Chinese New Year is the most important festival in the tradition of China. MERC Chinese School has committed to celebrating Chinese New Year since the school began in 1995. Every year, MERC teachers and parents spend time and efforts to organize a festive celebration event. The purpose is to let our young generations, our children, our grandchildren… who were born in the US, have an opportunity to experience the Chinese culture and tradition. This annual festive event, therefore, is not only a “celebration”, but also a part of our cultural curriculum. Hats off to ALL for your great support! The 2019 Chinese New Year Day - February 5, 2019 Have a Happy, healthy, and Prosperous Chinese New Year, the Year of the Pig! 新年快樂! 恭喜發財! Gung Hay Fat Choy!
