The Chinese club held the first Ping Pong tournament in January. In February, the annual Chinese New Year celebration sponsored by the club was a great success. The high school students and faculty got to enjoy traditional Chinese music, fun Chinese games as well as authentic Chinese food. In March, the club held a dumpling workshop where members were able to learn how to make dumplings.

Each year, around the time of the Ides of March, the Scarsdale Latin students come together to enjoy a Latin Banquet. This year again, students dressed in authentic Roman costumes and gathered in the Little Theater to enjoy eating their "cena" in the Roman style. During the meal, Latin students' musical talents provided the dinner with entertainment. Afterwards, the Latin 3/4 class performed a skit based on what they are reading in class. Then it was time for some friendly competition, both physical and mental. The Latin Banquet is a nice time for all the Latin students to be together and honor the huge legacy of Ancient Rome. We greatly appreciate the help of the parents to make this event happen!
On March 6, the co-directors of El Centro Hispano, Isabel Villarreal and Judith Aucar, came to speak with the Interdependence Committee about the array of services they offer to the Hispanics in Westchester.

Oliver Verzani, Oliver Shenberg and Daniella Rodriguez reflected on their work at Eastview school in White Plains in the “mi hermana mayor” (my big sister) program. Sarah Halperin shared the Spanish club's involvement in the Three Kings Day celebration in January with a toy drive and distribution of gifts at the center.
