Brilliant Star School celebrates Lunar New Year
With red lanterns swirling around entryways, handmade red good luck signs pasted everywhere, and bright red clothing running around the campus, it was hard to miss the fact that Brilliant Star Montessori School celebrated Lunar New Year this past week.
Brilliant Star School students were especially busy last week decorating their classrooms for the New Year and learning how to draw traditional Chinese characters with calligraphy brushes to hang on the windows. By lunchtime on New Year’s Eve, the whole campus smelled like fresh dumplings, which were handmade by each class.

“It is nice to be able to keep many of our [school] traditions alive through this year and also continue to educate our island’s children,” said upper elementary teacher Lindsay Davis.
