CELEBRATIONS
LUNAR NEW YEAR On February 1, 2022, DAP, Asian Culture Club, and PCDI partnered to host a Lunar New Year Spring Festival. The celebration included a presentation on Lunar New Year traditions and festivities, a variety of delicious Asian foods and music, and Delbarton's first Lunar New Year dragon! (See picture above.) This joyful event celebrated Asian cultures, while wishing our Delbarton community peace and prosperity in 2022 – the Year of the Tiger, symbolizing curiosity, independence, and self-esteem.
HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH This year’s Hispanic Heritage Month celebration was a beautiful display of Hispanic food, music, and traditions. On the day of the celebration, Old Main and the formal garden were covered with the vibrant colors of flags representing the different countries from which Delbarton’s Hispanic families hail. With cultural tables, Hispanic food trucks, art exhibitions, and a live band playing through the night, the celebration offered something for everyone to enjoy. This event was not only an outward display of the diversity that exists within the student population, but also an opportunity for everyone to admire and appreciate the often under-represented cultures of their peers. Although the celebration only happens once a year, it is always a beautiful representation of Hispanic culture that provides an opportunity for the entire Delbarton community to appreciate and celebrate the diversity found within itself.
