West Hancock Elementary

Mrs. Sours’ class had a wonderful time exploring the cultures of the Chinese Lunar New Year! 🧧🌙 Students reviewed moon phases and enjoyed delicious Moon Pies while making connections to the holiday. They learned about important traditions and customs, sampled a variety of oriental snacks, and got creative by making their own paper lanterns. It was a fun and engaging way to celebrate culture, history, and learning all together! 🎉

We're proud to be recognized by Jostens Renaissance for creating an environment where everyone feels seen and appreciated for their unique strengths.
