The Year of the Pig

We welcome the Lunar New Year on Tuesday, February 5. The 12th zodiac animal, the pig is a symbol of prosperity. According to one myth, the Jade Emperor said the zodiac order would be decided by the order in which the animals arrived to his party. Pig was late because he overslept.

Everyone is welcome to join the Lunar New Year celebration on Feb. 9 from 2-4 p.m., hosted by the Parents Association and the Parents of Asian Students.  Come enjoy dancing, dumplings and more.
