Dear Instructional Quality Commission members, 

As an active member of  The Orange Club （或者是你自己的组织）, this is a request to please include a discussion of the Asian Lunar New Year in the History-Social Science Framework.  Lunar New Year is celebrated by millions of immigrants from Mainland China, Cambodia, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mauritius, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan  and Thailand, as a significant part of our deeply held cultural family traditions. 

If students learn to compare how this tradition is celebrated in their local communities and how it connects people today to traditions from the past, the classroom discussions and fun activities will help build a greater sense of community and understanding. 

Thank you in advance for your careful consideration of this important matter to our community. 

Sincerely, 

Name 

The Orange Club, PAC
