Silver Creek High School to Host Annual Lunar New Year Celebration, February 24

Silver Creek High School is proud to announce the hosting of the annual Lunar New Year celebration on Saturday, February 24, 2024, from 2 to 5 p.m. This event is free and open to the public and will include a variety of cultural and musical performances, games, food samplings, and hands-on activity booths such as Chinese brush painting, name translation, origami, and more.

Since 2010, the Silver Creek Leadership Academy (SCLA) has partnered with the Asian-Pacific Association of Longmont (A-PAL) in presenting this cultural event to the community, providing students with beneficial leadership experiences. “Through their involvement in organizing the activity booths, game areas, and overall event coordination, our students have gained valuable skills,” said Carrie Adams, SCLA Program Director. “This collaborative effort, which involves students from across the district as well as various musical and artistic contributions, truly showcases the unity and strength of our school district and community.”

A-PAL has organized and celebrated the annual Chinese New Year celebration. In 2024, it expanded into the “Lunar New Year” celebration, a multicultural event intended to foster unity and promote cultural connections within the community. “We are excited to invite everyone to celebrate the Lunar New Year,” said Rita Liu, A-PAL Founder and President. “This event serves as a platform to honor and share the rich cultural heritage of our diverse community.”
