On Jan. 28, students at Northwest Elementary School in Amityville celebrated the Lunar New Year with their annual parade.

In celebration of the Lunar New Year, students learned that this is the Year of the Dragon, which represents wisdom, intuition and transformation. Students crafted lanterns, dragons and noisemakers for the parade around the school. To celebrate the Lunar New Year, students and staff were encouraged to wear red which symbolizes good luck, energy and happiness.

It was a festive and great learning experience for all of Northwest’s students.
