The West Orange High school Chinese Club visited Hazel Avenue School to perform the Dragon Dance in honor of the Chinese New Year. Students paraded around the entire school and playground to wish the community a healthy and prosperous new year.  The Chinese Club also visited with our students in grades K, 1, 2, 3, & 5 and read Chinese folk tales in English. Hazel Alumni Connell Donagher and Xin Huang were some of the students who visited their old alma matter. The children had a wonderful time learning about the Chinese New Year and also learned basic greetings in Chinese. Credit Contributed
