St. Bernard Prep School is pleased to partner with the
Confucius Institute at Troy University as part of a Chinese cultural exchange
program to bring international students to Alabama and provide chances for
Americans to learn different cultures.
On Friday, February 13, 2015, St. Bernard will host a
Cultural Spring Festival Celebration at St. Bernard Abbey Byre to showcase
different customs of the Korean and Chinese cultures. Students at St. Bernard Prep School under the
leadership of Miss Min Gao will be offering an introduction to the Chinese
Spring Festival followed by a video of how Koreans celebrate the same festival.
Before the Chinese dinner is served, the crowd will be
taught the proper use of chopsticks.
Students at St. Bernard will be demonstrating and assisting. From eating to Chinese songs and dances the
evening promises to be one to remember and to experience other cultural
customs. Other areas of interest include
learning to write calligraphy as well as playing Taichi, which is a slow
version of Kong Fu and it's a good excercise. SBP student Yuhang Wu will present a musical
piece featuring the hulusi flute and a senior student Ozzy Guevara will dance with a Chinese song.
Tickets to the event are available in the high school
office. The cost is $5 students and
children; $8 Adults and include dinner.
