During their visit, the students took a walking tour of the neighborhood, where they learned about the history, culture, and traditions of Chinese and Asian immigrant communities. They also watched the Annual Golden Dragon Parade, one of the oldest and most vibrant Lunar New Year celebrations in Southern California. The extracurricular activity helped students connect what they learned in the classroom to real-world experiences, enhancing their cross-cultural understanding and awareness.
