ROSEMEAD, CA--(Marketwire - 12/01/09) - Panda Express is proud to
offer its Chinese New Year Learn with Me Program(TM) free of charge to
all elementary schools across the nation. This child-friendly,
interactive curriculum is designed to help educators teach the
cultural significance of Chinese New Year, which in 2010 will mark the
Year of the Tiger from February 14 to February 28.
"We are grateful for the opportunity to give back to our community
with the Learn with Me program," said Peggy Cherng, PhD, Co-Chair of
Panda Express. "During this time when many schools are facing
cutbacks, we are especially happy to provide a free, quality
educational program that teachers may utilize and students may enjoy."
In its fourth year, the Learn with Me Program(TM) targets second to
fourth graders and is estimated to serve over 100,000 students across
the country. Each kit includes a Panda Express' Year of the Tiger DVD,
Year of the Tiger Fact Sheet, Jade Emperor's Interactive Game and
Activity Sheet, Lai See Activity Sheet and 35 bookmarks with Free Kids
Meal coupon. Educators may sign up for the free kits by visiting
www.pandaexpress.com from now until December 8. The program may be
taught from February 5 to March 1, 2010 to correlate with the Chinese
New Year Holiday.
According to the Chinese lunar calendar, the first moon signals the
beginning of Chinese New Year, which in 2010 will be the Year of the
Tiger. Feb. 14 starts the 15 day celebration. On New Year's Eve,
families come together to enjoy a delicious feast. The meal bears such
importance that if a family member can't attend, an empty seat is kept
in place to symbolize their presence!
