Jordan District Students Host Chinese New Year Celebration at Herriman High

Posted on

The Year of the Horse is almost here! Chinese Dual Language Immersion (DLI) students at Eastlake Elementary, Mountain Creek Middle, and Herriman High School combined for an entertaining and educational cultural celebration of the Chinese New Year. Children in attendance received a passport to travel around Herriman High and learn about Chinese culture and history, play a game, or grab some dinner.

Inside the auditorium, students from all three schools performed songs, dances, and musical numbers. Current students also spoke about what learning Chinese has meant to them, while alumni described how the DLI program opened doors to them in college and the workforce since graduation.

Happy Chinese New Year! 新年好!
