** The schedule for the day is as follows:
12pm-1:45pm Dress Rehearsal
Our Culture Director has carefully planned the rehearsal schedule to give every group a chance to rehearse on stage. *Please follow your teacher’s instructions regarding the arrival time and things needed* Any questions or assistance needed, you can go to the Reception Desk at the entrance of the performing center.
– Rehearsal time is quite limited, therefore have your child arrive at least 15 minutes prior to their scheduled rehearsal to allow time to change if necessary and find their class.
– Pizza will be served ONLY for the MCs and CNY crews and parent volunteers.
– It will be a very long afternoon so parents please be sure to pack snack (or lunch)

Other valuable information for our parents:
(A) Red Envelop (hóng-bāo, Yā-Suì Qián) 紅包
Your child will receive a red envelop from PCLS on 2/3. Do they know why they are getting red envelop on Chinese New Year? Do they know what greetings they should say (in Chinese) when they receive the red envelop?
Yā-Suì Qián (red envelope) is a tradition in Chinese New Year. We encourage our parents to talk about the meaning of Red Envelop with your child. The following two links are for your reference.
