Andrew’s CNY party

Yesterday Andy’s school hosted their first Chinese new year

performance and party since before the pandemic.


We were so proud of Andy- he was much calmer and more focused than in

previous performances. And— maybe because he had the most eye-catching

red Chinese dragon sweater? — he was the main character at the climax

of the story as he walked up and down the aisle with the spot light on

him as he wished everyone good fortune in the year of the Dragon while

receiving ‘Lai See’ (the red packets of money that children receive

during the new year period)!


As is always the case at Andrew’s special needs school, the

performances are inspirational and touching— I don’t think there was a

dry eye in the room when the girl with speech impediments and mobility

challenges, recited her own poem about a world without disability

discrimination using her tablet and electric speaker (much like what

Dr. Stephen Hawking used to communicate).  And I’m always reminded of

the motto at my own primary school:  Every Child is Good at Something!
