This past Saturday, members of the Upper School Chinese Club were invited to perform a traditional Chinese dragon dance at the Lunar New Year Festival in Lake David Park, which was sponsored by Bennett Law Center in partnership with the Caribbean American Passport and the City of Groveland.
上周六，MVA高中汉语协会的成员应邀在大卫湖公园的农历新年庆典上表演了传统的中国舞龙，该活动由贝内特法律中心与加勒比裔美国护照和格罗夫兰市合作赞助。
The students volunteered their time rehearsing and training with the Chinese Association of Orlando. Some of the members participated in the fashion show, and others participated in the Tai Chi performances. Max Zhang, junior and President of the MVA Chinese club, shared, “I was happy and excited to be performing at the City of Groveland festival. Members of the club did their best to share their culture with their community.”
学生们自愿参加奥兰多华人协会的排练和培训。有一些学生参加了时装表演，还有一些学生参加了太极表演。MVA中文俱乐部主席、高中二年级Max 张同学分享道，“我很高兴，也很兴奋能在格罗夫兰市音乐节上表演。俱乐部成员尽最大努力与社区分享他们的文化。”
“I was very proud of the students,” said Mrs. Margaret Price, Assistant Dean of Students for Multiculturalism, Leadership, and Student Programs. “It was obvious that [the dance] is an important part of their culture. Families brought their kids over to take pictures with our students, and I could overhear them say, ‘Maybe one day when you’re older you’ll be able to participate in the dance.'”
“我为我们的学生感到骄傲和自豪，”MVA负责多元文化、领导力和学生项目副院长Margaret Price女士说道。“很显然，(舞龙)是中国文化的重要组成部分。一些家庭带着他们的孩子过来和我们的学生合影，我无意中听到他们说，‘也许有一天你长大了，你也能参加舞龙表演。’”
The Chinese Association of Orlando has loaned the Chinese Club their dragon costumes for the MVA Lunar New Year Talent Show, which will be held on Wednesday, February 14, at 7 p.m. in the Fine Arts Auditorium. All three divisions are invited to attend and enjoy. All attendees will receive an opportunity to win gift cards in the Lucky Draw Red Envelope Raffle.
奥兰多华人协会将他们的龙服借给学校汉语俱乐部的成员参加MVA农历新年才艺表演，该表演于2月14日星期三下午7点在学校艺术礼堂举行。所有三个部门都被邀请参加并观看表演，观众还有机会在幸运红包抽奖中赢得礼品卡。
