At the Center for New Americans, the last day of English classes before the holiday break is a day filled with singing, dancing, traditional clothing, and loads of cheer. Students, teachers, and staff come together to celebrate the end of one year and joyously kick-off the next. Below is just a sampling of the day’s festivities from December 18th.
A student from Darfur sings and plays a traditional instrument while other male students perform a tribal dance that involves jumping high into the air.
Two Tigrinya women from Eritrea in traditional clothing.
Students from Ukraine share a musical number.
