Happy Lunar New Year

Every year, Bement holds events for the Lunar New Year Celebration! This year, Students of Asian Heritage helped organize a series of fun activities led by Ms. Cho. Although a lot of the traditions for international students might be diminished due to the pandemic, the Students of Asian Heritage arranged nostalgic events reminding everyone of what students usually would do with their families back in their hometown. On New Year’s Eve, students interested in participating in the celebration gathered on campus for the event. The celebration started in Kittredge Building, where students were divided into two groups. A group of students made paper lanterns while the other students learned how to dance a K-pop dance, “Hype Boy” by NewJeans. After the “warm-up” activities, students moved to the barn for some student performances. The performance started with some New Year Wishes from three ninth graders; Jaelyn, Jamie, and Tianni. Then, Cleo ‘23 and Flora ‘23 presented the audience a beautiful duet of flute and cello of the piece “Childhood.” Afterwards, Iris ‘24 and Josephine ‘24 joined the group and performed the traditional Chinese song “Jasmine Flower.” We are very glad to have our alumni, Allen '23, joining us as he played some of his selected pieces on the piano.
