"Congratulations to everyone at the school, teachers, and families on the AmerAsian school's 25th anniversary. I feel a strange bond that our relationship, which started in the spring of 1998, has grown for this long. Since the school was in Ooyama, the development of the school and the students, it is amazing to see how wonderfully they have grown. We also dream of sending out a message of world peace and equality towards the 30th anniversary, and we hope that we will continue to send birthday cards.

To be thorough ~The beauty of being serious~

２０２３/０５/１６

The students' skill level of cleaning in the men's restroom has gotten better. They have been scraping off the urinary salts stuck to the urinal strainer. A stone stuck like a stalactite in a cave in 25 years is not so easy to remove. It also had a pungent odor. It didn't budge with a scrubbing brush, and even a scraper didn't work very well. Every day during cleaning time, a blacksmith-like sound echoes from the back of the men's restroom. When I first explained how to do it, the JH boys were making a big fuss with "Oh! No! No! No! ". They are now working almost silently. Every day, the inside of the restroom has changed to a refreshing feeling. This photo conveys the splendor and beauty of being serious and thorough, and the importance of continuing. Elementary school students who are still little kids now will grow up watching wonderful seniors.

Let's change the school by ourselves 

~Student council in action~

２０２３/０５/１８

Students started student council activities every Thursday from 14:40 to 15:10. During the first meeting, we explained what student council is.

“The student council is an organization in which all the students come together to plan daily activities and events and make the school a lively and bright place by themselves.

　"Schools can't run well with only teachers. We need your help. Power and energy are born only when everyone moves positively. There are many events, so let's exchange ideas. To that end, it is important to carefully accumulate small daily activities. We will split daily activities between students in G4-G9. That's the student committee. There are eight committees: Life Committee, Library Committee, Environment beautification Committee, Public relations Committee, Health Committee, Arts and culture Committee, Food education Committee, and Physical Education Committee. Please make a plan for the whole school year in each of your committees.”

　This is how the student committees started. The second session for each committee is to confirm their roles and discuss annual plans. The children's practice of making their own school has begun.

Potatoes arrived from Okinoerabu Island

~Hayashi's seasonal Potatoes 2023~

２０２３/０５/２３

　Seasonal potatoes have arrived from Okinoerabu Island. They were donated by Mr. Shinya Hayashi and Mrs. Kaori who are friends of Ms. Kondo, our office manager. They run a potato farm in Okinoerabu Island. We wanted everyone to know the taste of freshly harvested potatoes, so we cooked french fries for the student's snack time in the Fukufuku kitchen. We started cooking at 9:00 and made it in time for the long recess at 10:00. At first, we thought we had more than enough, but everyone ate it all at once!! It was delicious! Everybody was so happy! 　　

"Thank you, Mr/Mrs. Hayashi. We are entering typhoon season. Let's get through it together!!"

Smile is the best way to be kind to others. You need me, I need you too.

       ～Words that everyone should keep in mind～  

２０２３/０５/２５

　I set a school motto. It tells the students the direction everyone should go. In particular, we have students and teachers at the school from all over the world, different environments and different cultures come together in this school.

However, even if our backgrounds are different, what we seek as people is basically the same.

I posted the school motto on the bulletin board at the entrance. Please check it. The calligraphy is by Masae Shinjo, and the decorations by Mrs. Okuno, the parent.
