Kung Hee Fat Choy! Happy Chinese New Year! The Kapālama campus Midkiff Learning Center staff recently invited a pair of Chinese lions from the Gee Yung Martial Arts Dragon and Lion Association to perform the choy cheng, or traditional Chinese lion-dance blessing for the building. Students and staff were given the traditional red envelopes, lai see, containing a small amount of money to feed the lions. Senior Paige Change is a member of the Chinese lion dancing group and helped to make the event possible.
KS photographer Michael Young was on hand to capture the highlights of the celebratory event.
Kamehameha Schools’ policy is to give preference to applicants of Hawaiian ancestry to the extent permitted by law.
