Hello everyone,

This morning all the students went to the gym to get awards, and to listen to a presentation. We have SO MANY girls doing great things these days. The Karuta team, photo club, science club, and English recitation pair are just some of the students who were recognized today.

After the awards ceremony, Miss Konishi, who is in grade 2 of high school, gave a presentation about her trip to America. She was chosen for the Tobitate Japan program, and went to Boston. While she was there, she used the English she has been studying at school while volunteering at a food bank.

A food bank provides food for people who need it, and works because people donate food to it. It is a common idea in Canada and America but, as Miss Konishi talked about, is not as well known in Wakayama. She hopes to change that.

She must have been nervous taling in front of the whole school, but Miss Konishi did a great job! pachi pachi!
