(by Yoshiko Kawada, PTA President)

A happy new year to all our students, staff and families! I hope you all enjoyed the holiday season. I would like to thank all those who helped our school put on a successful and enjoyable holiday program. Our school’s staff, board members, and other valuable volunteers did a fantastic job of organizing a great program. Keeping Japanese school interesting and a fun place to be for learning the language and culture is an ongoing effort. Every little bit helps and your child will see how important you value his/her education by being a part of the program. I hope to see many families at our New Year party on February 4th.
