January 23, 2023- Eye of the Tiger Family Message

Dear Barrett Families:

Happy Lunar New Year to everyone who celebrates! The Lunar New Year (aka Spring Festival) holiday is centered around removing the bad and old and welcoming good fortune and prosperity. Traditionally, people will light candles or oil lamps to look forward to good luck in the new year. Each year has a corresponding animal to celebrate. This year is the year of the Rabbit! This provides another opportunity for our community to honor those closest to us and reflect on how we hope to spend this year.
