The Dock Street School PTA  wishes you a happy Lunar New Year!

As parent leaders and advocates, we know the importance of culturally responsive education. With the heightened discrimination currently faced by the Asian American Pacific Islander (or AAPI) community, it is more important than ever not only to honor holidays but to celebrate culture year-round and educate ourselves and each other about our experiences, heritage, and shared histories.
We are wishing you a prosperous and peaceful Lunar New Year!
