CNY Spirit Day Dress-up
The Year of Monkey is just around the corner. This is a message to call attention to the upcoming CNY Day celebration on February 5. Please get your traditional Chinese jacket or dress ready. If you are new to China, you might want to check the shops in the neighborhood. Su Guo usually sells clothes for the new year. To have your ideal style or material, you can even have your jacket or dress tailor made. Ask a Chinese colleague for help.
ISTA High School and Middle School Theatre Festivals
