P.S. 203 Students Celebrate Lunar New Year

More than 800 students take part in Chinese, Korean songs and dances.

Bayside's P.S. 203 held its annual Lunar New Year performance on Wednesday afternoon in the school's auditorium.

More than 800 students took part in the Year of the Snake celebration, which included a Chinese dragon dance, Suzuki violin, Korean dance of the dolls, Lunar New Year songs, a Korean fan dance, Kamishibai storytelling, a Chinese ribbon dance and a Korean farmers' dance.

Attendees at the event included city Comptroller John Liu and state Assembly members Edward Braunstein, D-Bayside, and Nily Rozic, D-Fresh Meadows.

Voula Angelidakis, who helped coordinate the program, said the school has been hosting a Lunar New Year performance for at least 20 years.

"It gets the kids immersed in Chinese and Korean culture," she said. "They all love it."

The local, fresh fruit and vegetable market was a worthwhile addition to Douglaston. Obviously, itRead More did not receive the support of the community, at least not enough to make it a successful venture. This is sad. Every Sunday, rain or shine, I would stop at the market and purchase something. My favorite was the bakery stand. Often, when I stopped in the afternoon I would get two FREE French breads with my purchase. Parking was never a problem. The vendors where friendly and very informative. It was a perfect setting for the picturesque nature of this community. Too bad it is not returning.

Unfortunately, according to the Douglas Manor Association, the fresh fruit and vegetable market willRead More NOT return this year. No specific reason was given other than this was at the initiative of the merchants or the market's organizers. And this..., just as we were beginning to enjoy the Long Island wines and the $34 per pound skirt steak, ordered two months in advance.
