Hello everyone,

It is the start of a new school year! Today the new grade two and three students came to school for the opening ceremony and to find out their new classes. We started the day in their old classrooms followed by some cleaning. After the assembly in the gym it was time to pack up and move to our new classrooms.

This year our school motto is: “お陰様”. While there is not a direct translation to English, we can imagine this means “Thanks to you”. So this year, when we are talking to our teachers, seniors, friends, and parents, let’s keep this in mind.

Tomorrow our new grade one junior high school and high school girls will enter our school. After that, Saturday is a day for long homeroom and classes start on Monday. I hope we all have a good year. I will be updating this blog once a week on Wednesdays. If you have some ideas or feedback, please let me know.

Until next time,

Allen
