Affinity Club joins forces with Model United Nations to host a Lunar New Year celebration.
At the main table, student leaders share this dessert, allowing students to experience a small part of this vast culture. This photo captures one of the very first sales of the day at the Lunar New Year Event that took place in the library and was hosted by Model UN and the Affinity Club. At the event they had chosen to share a Singaporean dessert and this was one of the many students who had purchased one. Gretchen Bertram, teacher, helped organize the event. “One of the countries is Singapore,” Bertram said. “They wanted to highlight that and so the students found a bakery in Portland that made a special Singaporean desserts."
