– More than 40 students from Barnard Mandarin Magnet Elementary School took to the stage at the Moon Festival in Balboa Park on Sept. 22 to showcase their Chinese cultural arts talents and language skills. It is the third consecutive year that Barnard’s students have performed in this annual event.
The school’s “Flying Arts” performance troupe, comprised of second- through fifth-grade students, presented a dance interpretation of Mulan, the legendary warrior woman from fifth century China. Later in the program, students from Barnard’s fourth-grade classrooms performed a dance from the Yi Torch Festival. Set to traditional music from the southwest region of China, this dance commemorates the fabled wrestler Atilaba, who drove away a plague of locusts using torches made from pine trees. Another group of Barnard students joined instructors from the Confucius Institute at San Diego State University to demonstrate the slow-moving exercises of tai chi, which has its origin in the fighting arts.

– Sessions is excited to launch a program called WATCH D.O.G.S. Families learned at the orientation pizza party that the two main goals of the program is to provide positive male role models for the students, demonstrating by their presence that education is important and to provide extra sets of eyes and ears to enhance school security and reduce bullying. Each male participant, dad, uncle, grandpa, etc. is asked to volunteer one day per school year. The program is sure to be a success due to the large, enthusiastic crowd who showed up for orientation.
