Lunar New Year Festival
Kicking off our Spring events is our Lunar New Year Festival. This event highlights IL Texas's commitment to developing global leaders, appreciation for other cultures, and our trilingual curriculum. This event is held end of January or beginning of February around the time of the traditional Chinese Lunar New Year. The event includes various activity booths around campus that allow families to explore and partake in different aspects of the Lunar New Year and Chinese culture. Don't forget to watch your child perform throughout the event as well. Your students and the Chinese teachers work hard during the month of January to prepare a song to sing in Chinese for the event. We also have performances from local Chinese groups that highlight traditional dances and music. It also wouldn't be a Lunar New Year without the Lion and Dragon dances which are performed by IL Texas Students! Don't miss out on learning and having fun with your family!

International Festival
Ending the year of amazing events is our International Festival! Attention Parents! This is your chance to participate directly with your families on bringing other cultures and countries to life! This event is typically held in April and sign ups go up in March. Families can choose from a list of countries and then set up a booth at the event that showcases that country. Each booth includes information from the country such as traditional foods, traditions, clothing, games/activities, holidays etc. We encourage families to bring copies of recipes to pass out and an activity or two for "tourists" to participate in.
