Students from Monte Vista Elementary’s Chinese Dual Language Immersion Program took the stage during a special evening celebrating culture and community.
Monte Vista was invited by the Taiwanese Association of Greater Salt Lake (TAGSL) to perform during their Chinese New Year and Lantern Festival celebration.
Under the guidance of Mrs. Liu, Mr. Olsen, and Ms. Amanda, the students showcased their dedication and talent. Among the highlights were students mastering the bamboo pole dance and the mesmerizing dragon dance, both central to Chinese New Year celebrations and symbolize good luck, strength and prosperity.
Monte Vista expresses their thanks to TAGSL for being involved in such a wonderful celebration and to the New Golden Dragon restaurant for the warm hospitality.
What a wonderful educational opportunity for DLI students to experience rich culture traditions.
