On January 22nd, 2023, people all around the world celebrated one of the biggest holidays for Southeast and East Asians: the Lunar New Year. For St. Marker’s who are international or away from family during the period of time, ASEA (Association of South-East and East Asians) organized various activities for students to enjoy at school with a family-like atmosphere.
Students gathered in the Patterson-Sculley lobby on the 22nd with local parents and teachers to make delicious dumplings.
