Our GPCA family and friends gathered to celebrate our annual Chinese New Year celebration, a vibrant tribute to the power of community and tradition. One notable difference this year as we celebrate, we are missing May Law, our school's serving principal for the last 20 years. We hope we honored and made you proud, Principal May.

Our teachers and supporting board members have demonstrated remarkable leadership and teamwork, inspiring us all with their passion and commitment. We hope our guests were inspired by our students' outstanding achievements. Thank you to Jin Ding restaurant for the delicious lunch. The dim sum buffet was a resounding success!

This past weekend our school hosted an event where students, families, board members and teachers were able to get together to welcome Spring. We want to give a special Thank you to John Chin, Executive Director of the Philadelphia Chinatown Development Corporation for taking time out of his schedule to talk to our families about the work PCDC does for the Asian community. The presentation was very informative and many families were passionate about the topics that were discussed. Our students were also able to practice their Cantonese during our mini pop up store, where they negotiated sales prices and bought trinkets from each other. Our older students helped sell raffle tickets and also exercised and demonstrated some skillful negotiating tactics in Cantonese. We can't wait for our next in person event.
