🌾 Ponggal Celebration 2025 🌾

We just wrapped up a beautiful Ponggal celebration, and it was nothing short of amazing! This vibrant East Indian harvest festival lasted three unforgettable days, filling our hearts with warmth and smiles.

The teachers had such a blast learning about the traditions, and they even got hands-on in the kitchen making sweet rice with milk, ghee, and rice. Laughter filled the air, the sweet aroma was absolutely divine, and the sense of community was truly heartwarming. What a way to kick off the year!

🐉 Chinese New Year Celebrations 2025 🧧

On the 24th of January, we kicked off our Chinese New Year celebrations with an absolute blast! The highlight of the day was the amazing dragon pole props that our incredibly creative students made all on their own. These weren’t just any props – they were vibrant, dazzling, and brimming with festive energy!

The excitement reached its peak during the Longwu Dance performance. The students brought the stage to life, gracefully maneuvering their dragon props in perfect rhythm. The colorful dragons weaved through the crowd, spreading joy, love, and a sense of unity, all while filling the air with the spirit of prosperity for the year 2025. It was a performance to remember – full of energy, cheer, and smiles from ear to ear!

The entire celebration was a heartwarming reminder of the beauty of tradition, creativity, and coming together as a community to welcome the New Year with joy, laughter, and hope. What an incredible way to set the tone for 2025!

After the celebration, it’s time for a well-deserved break. 🎉 The school will be closed for Chinese New Year break from January 27th to February 3rd. Students will return refreshed and ready to go on February 4th.

From all of us here at Upward, we’d like to wish you Gong Xi Fa Cai! May this Lunar New Year bring endless blessings, good health, and prosperity to you and your loved ones. Let’s make it a festive, joyful season together!
