(By Yoshiko Kawada, PTA President)

A very happy new year to all our students, staff and families! I’d like to thank all those who helped our school put on a successful and enjoyable holiday program. I was very surprised to receive such a warm gift to the board member from the school families. Our New Year party will be on February 3rd, and we welcome all parents, teachers and past school affiliates to celebrate together! Raffle prizes will be given away AND 3 lucky families will win a $65 credit toward their children’s tuition. March 10th will be the Kurimanju fundraiser day and, as we have announced many times, participation in this event is mandatory. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
