00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,440
Speaker 1: Walking along Hancock Straight in North Quinsy, it's easy to

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: have a conversation about this year's Lunar New Year.

3
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:09,639
Speaker 2: I think it's hope, you know, for the new Year.

4
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:13,119
Speaker 3: Obviously Josh was someone who will be celebrated.

5
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 4: And obviously, you know, we think about the old year too,

6
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,960
Speaker 4: but looking forward to year the hosts, I think it's

7
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:19,960
Speaker 4: a wonderful thing.

8
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 5: And he also agrees with many that the Lunar New

9
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:23,799
Speaker 5: Year should be an official holiday in.

10
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 6: The school calendar. This year, the Lunar New Year fell

11
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:29,479
Speaker 6: during school vacation week, but it usually falls on a

12
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:32,840
Speaker 6: school day, and for several years, the Quincy School Board

13
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,919
Speaker 6: has rejected proposals to make the Lunar New Year an

14
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:37,880
Speaker 6: official school calendar holiday.

15
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 3: Many and Quinsy are hoping next year it can be different.

16
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 2: Like it brings the community together.

00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:47,080
