PAST EVENTS
Spring Festival Potluck
The 2025 Spring Festival celebration was a great honor for us as we collaborated with the World Language Department Chinese Program to welcome the RDFZ Art Troupe from LAB School’s sister school. Their live performance at our school provided an unforgettable experience for students and teachers alike, bringing an extraordinary showcase of talent and cultural exchange.
One of the evening’s highlights was the collaborative rendition of “Jasmine Flower,” performed jointly by LAB students and the RDFZ Art Troupe, symbolizing cultural exchange and unity. Additionally, LAB students delivered compelling speeches, demonstrating their eloquence and engagement with the festival’s themes.
The event saw the participation of over 260 LAB family members, who contributed to a diverse and delicious potluck spread. Attendees also engaged in traditional crafts, creating festive decorations that added to the vibrant atmosphere.
The celebration was a resounding success, filled with joy and community spirit, as everyone came together to honor the Spring Festival. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all participants and volunteers who made this event possible!
