Xin Nian Kuai Le!

On Friday night, February 9, P.S. 261 held its first annual Chinese New Year Banquet, a fundraiser for the fifth grade. About 70 people attended and, as appropriate for the Year of the Pig, feasted on delicious Chinese food from Kam Feng on Smith Street. The cafeteria was decorated with the students’ artwork of dragons and pandas.

Thanks to all who helped — Avra Wing, Carole Kelly, Marci Rosa, Janet Naeemah Williams, Jennifer Eltantawy, Eslyn Alexander, Michelle Thomas, Cornelia Porter, Kate Ryan, Joe Glickman, Michael Wing. Gan xie to Jook Leung. And a special thanks to Beth Umland who led the children in a hilarious series of blindfolded Dragon Chases.

Xin Nian Kuai Le everyone!
