Lunar New Year at Winter Retreat with Cantilena and Cantiga

Wishing you happiness and prosperity in THE YEAR OF THE RABBIT

We were so lucky to have Cantilena and Cantiga’s winter retreat fall on the beginning of Lunar New Year celebrations! We have many choristers that celebrate Lunar New Year at home, and it was the perfect opportunity to have all of our choristers celebrate and learn together! Our chaperones organized so many fun activities for our choristers to celebrate: Dragon races, lantern making, and we can’t forget about Saturday’s LUNAR NEW YEAR OLYMPICS!!

Cantilena and Cantiga also learned about their Chinese Zodiac signs together. Our choristers and chaperones of the same sign had fun learning about their similarities (and what makes our ONE Dog unique!) Every chorister even got to go home with a lucky red envelope! We hope it brings you good fortune in the new year!

We want to say an ENORMOUS thank you to all of our parent chaperones and our families back home who taught us about their family traditions, donated decorations, shared stories, and planned so many exciting and informative activities for our choristers as they enjoyed their weekend away!
