“Lunar New Year is a time for families to come together, often through a large meal,” junior Taohan Lin said. “A lot of the student body celebrates Lunar New Year, so I think it’s great we can celebrate together at school.”
Organized by the Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA), Jefferson’s Lunar New Year celebration was one of the multiple cultural events the PTSA Diversity Committee hosts every year.
