Thanksgiving Lunch Party
Thanksgiving Lunch Party
On Wednesday, November 26, we held our Thanksgiving Lunch Party. Every year on the fourth Wednesday of November, AASO invites the supporters who continuously help our school and welcomes them with dishes and desserts generously prepared by our parents. This year, we were delighted to have about 30 supporters join us. Thank you very much for your presence.
Preparations for the celebration began the day before, with each classroom thoughtfully decorated and tables arranged to show our appreciation for Thanksgiving.
On the day of the event, the students first gathered for a morning assembly, where Ms. L and Ms. Aika explained the origins and purpose of Thanksgiving. Afterwards, the students returned to their classrooms and wrote messages of gratitude on paper turkey feathers for the people who support them every day. Many students expressed thanks to their mothers, fathers, and friends.
During the program, we introduced all the guests and warmly welcomed them with the song “I’d Like to Build a World a Home,” sung by all students. We then took commemorative photos with our supporters before enjoying traditional Thanksgiving dishes such as turkey. The children happily filled their plates with meat, ham, and other favorites, and enjoyed a festive lunch party in their classrooms.
We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to all the parents who provided homemade dishes, desserts, and drinks. Thanks to your support, our guests, students, and staff were all delighted and said they enjoyed “so many delicious foods.” This year’s Thanksgiving celebration was once again a great success. Thank you very much.
Those who were able to receive the homemade jelly were really lucky.
Here we have homemade cookies, muffins, and chocolate cake. They look almost too good to eat!
Warm, homemade pancakes with a sweet message. I wish I could eat them right now!
The preparations for welcoming our guests began early in the morning.
The volunteer parents discussed and decided how to arrange the dishes. Sorry the photo is a little out of focus.
There are plenty of drinks as well. Please help yourself to whatever you like.
Today is Mr. K’s birthday. He made the first cut into the turkey! Happy birthday!
Early in the morning, parents and students were inflating balloons for the decorations. They were kindly provided by the parents—thank you so much!
They were inflating balloons even from a distance. Hmm… it just won’t inflate.
We’re adding the newly finished balloon arch.
It creates a wonderful atmosphere—looks great!
In front of the turkey, the parent volunteers gathered—wait, someone who doesn’t belong has quietly slipped into the group. It’s a little scary how naturally they blend in!
These were borrowed from the Nagata Public District Neighborhood Association. We are always grateful for their support.

Halloween Celebration
Halloween Celebration
On Friday, October 31st, we held our Halloween Party. From early in the morning, the children arrived at school dressed in costumes full of personality and creativity. This Halloween Party is the only school event entirely planned and executed by the Student Council.
This year’s program kicked off with a costume contest, followed by four games designed by the Student Council, with each grade rotating through them. A new feature this year was a haunted house set up across two classrooms. It was quite elaborate: all classroom windows were covered to create a pitch-dark space, partitions were used to build a maze, and ghosts were placed at every corner. The ghost roles were played by parents.
So, what were the results of all this excitement?
The Halloween pumpkin craft was done by the Student Council and volunteers.
We pitched in as well.
We made it for the principal. Oh, excellent!
It’s finished! Everyone worked hard together
What do you think? Nice, isn’t it! M, Student Council President
Tomorrow’s Halloween Party is sure to be a lot of fun!
Each classroom was ready for the Halloween Party. They did surprisingly well!
With the doors decorated like this, can we even get inside?! Don’t worry, it’s fine
We’re consulting on the best way to set up the partitions.
The Student Council, three students, and their advisors, Aika-sensei and Wani-sensei, continued working on the haunted house after this. Granato-san kindly treated everyone who was working hard with hamburgers, fries, and drinks. Thank you very much!
Scenes from the Morning of the Halloween Party
Whoa, a knife on your head!?
Are they three sisters?
Here’s a close-knit group of five.
That zombie is frightening.
Is the student who jumped in at the front a girl or a boy? Maybe it’s good the focus is off.
Kid Gojo from Jujutsu Kaisen looks really cool.
Chocolate is my favorite!
The kids came to school sooner than normal. They’re all full of excitement.
Heading to the costume contest venue!
Here we go, the first graders are fully prepared.

I’m seeing both cute and scary at the same time, and it’s hard to tell.
The teachers are all pumped up as well: Angama Tatsumi and Witch Hiroko
The girl in the middle looks a little suspicious
R-kun, who’s always been talking about wooden swords, finally had his wish come true
Though their costumes are different, their feelings are the same.
Students from the University of the Ryukyus also joined us. Thank you!
It looks like everyone is enjoying themselves.
Ms. Minako is keeping it low-key this time.
That’s why it seems suspicious. Who could it be?
Whoa, a skeleton is giving a piggyback ride! Walking beside them is a little green man, and leading the way is a dinosaur. What a combination!
From the left: Jason from Friday the 13th, an African snail, and a dinosaur fossil. All three show great creativity.
Straight out of the world of Jujutsu Kaisen! Alongside their homeroom teacher, Mr. Lowen. This will surely be a memorable experience for the G8 boys.

The costume contest is about to begin!
The hosts, a banana man and a zombie, are from the student council. What a combination!
To start, the professor and students from the University of the Ryukyus were introduced. Today was their final day as class volunteers. Thank you!
The first performers are the kindergarten students. They’re full of energy!
Let’s just get through it somehow
The second graders will introduce themselves and talk about their costumes.
I missed the perfect photo opportunity. Sorry about that
Where are we going?
Jason is from Friday the 13th, so he can’t stay calm."
Yeah. It doesn’t concern us.
I think so too.
I’m already tired.
Huh, do skeletons get tired?
I wonder where my friend went.
I can’t see anything.
I know! They’re participating in the cosplay contest.
"G6 sang: 'We are the world~ ♪ We are the children~ ♪'"
G7。When the world must come together as one～♪ Oh-
G8。 Hey, are you ready? Let's begine!
Guys, sing first!
I’ll sing!
Wait—you’re a boy?
Oh no, my voice won’t come out!
What are you doing? I’ll cut you with my chainsaw! (playful tone)
I used to come to this town with you~ ♪
Nice!
In this lively town full of students~ ♪
I’m dressed as Banana Man. Although many G9 students are absent, I still want to have fun.
With you~ ♪ Too good!
Do you think we should join in singing?
No, let’s pass!
Isono-san, don’t fall asleep!
Who should get the costume award? Everyone is seriously pondering
Hmm, it’s so hard to decide… You’re the best.
After all the costumes have been presented, everyone writes the name of the person they think deserves each award on the sheets that were handed out. The winners will be announced at the closing ceremony of the Halloween party. Who will win? We’re excited to find out!
Game Time!
On the left is an explanation of the four awards for the costume contest. On the right is the order for moving to the game venue. This time, the new games are 'Haunted House' and 'Pictionary
A witch has descended!
Residents of the haunted house (plus two others). Thank you to all the parents for your hard work!
Scary! A zombie with a severed head was standing at the entrance of the haunted house. This is the way in. We hope you make it out safely… Wow, it’s talking!
A figure behind the right door frame!? It’s a zombie!
Once it grabs your hand, there’s no getting out of the house! Run!
Oh no, scary! Run away!
That was terrifying! I couldn’t help but cry.
I’m hungry. You look like a tasty little kid… Hearing that in the dark would make anyone cry.
At the bowling venue, it was hard to knock down the pins, and they struggled without a single strike. Maybe the plastic bottles were too heavy.
Wow! You knocked down five pins!
Student officer J-kun in charge. It’s quite a challenging task. The teachers helped out too. Let’s all have fun together!
Mr. Lowen, your form was great, but…
Out of the way, dinosaur! I’m the strongest on earth, so I go my own path!
Pictionary: A game where you draw a word you hear from the organizer, and others try to guess what it is.
Everyone is serious because you get a reward if you guess correctly.
Ring toss game. Even Michael Jackson is giving it a try!
Am I a University of Tokyo student? I can do this! Now, focus. Tatsumi Angama is cheering me on too.
Wow! Going full Kung Fu style to aim for all the rings. So cool!
This is how you throw it. The student council senior is kindly showing us the way.
Trick or Treat—let’s start!
Here we go! Everyone is following the rules as they move.
The activity was held using the entire school grounds. We also moved to the neighboring Fuku Fuku facility next to AASO to collect treats. The route was perfectly planned, so the movement went smoothly.
Trick or Treat? We’ll treat! A witch, Mario… hmm, I can’t see!
We were also joined by Director Yonesu from Mebuki. We’re very grateful.
Trick or Treat! Don’t forget! Oh, I mean… Treat, please.
The parents are also responding politely. Thank you very much.
What’s this?
Huh, who are you?
I’m Namihei Isono, Sazae’s father. I don’t know…
Trick or Treat? What should I do? Please!
Having fun together is AASO’s motto.
Both elementary and middle school students
Director Yonesu as well
Here you go. The staff at Mebuki are also very busy
Trick or Treat! Just a moment.
Oh, here you are.
"Thanks!"
For some reason, Namihei-san is being nice to the boys.
Can I have more?Nope! I haven’t gotten any yet. Nope! Aww, come on! Nope!
It was like a comedy sketch, but did they manage to get any candy?
Nope! Isn’t there a nicer way to say it?
That’s enough. There’s a line forming behind you.
Do I get some too?There’s plenty for everyone!
Trick or Treat？ Ok, I'll treat.

Class Diary
Class Diary
Until now, our school did not have a class diary, so the students did not have the habit of reflecting on their school day. Therefore, I decided to create a class diary and have every class fill it out daily.
The items to be recorded include the date, weather, name of the student writing, each teacher’s rating of the lessons (on a scale of 1–10), reflections from the student on duty, teacher’s comments, and the classroom’s cleanliness and organization status. The main focus is on reflecting on class attitudes and maintaining order in one’s surroundings.
At the first student assembly in October, I explained the purpose of keeping the class diary and how to fill it out. In addition, during every Friday assembly, we decided to summarize and present the results of each class’s entries for the week.
The purpose of this class diary is to praise the students’ efforts in their school life. When I read the reflections written by the students on duty, I found that they noted both the good and bad points of the day, and even included suggestions for improvement. I was deeply moved by their sincerity when I read these entries. Once again, I was reminded of how wonderful the students of AASO truly are. Excellent!
After the dismissal meeting, the student on duty in each class writes a reflection for the day in the class diary and submits it to the principal.
The teacher’s evaluation is on a 10-point scale. The reflections written by the student on duty show their sincerity and seriousness.
Reflections from the student on duty show thoughtful self-evaluation and a determination to do better next time. It is this mindset that truly matters!
The comments are truly honest and heartfelt, and they even make me feel happy too.
Comments from the teacher
Comments from the student on duty. They set a goal of 10 points and express their determination to do their best. Great!
To track the students’ growth, the class diaries will be compiled and kept in a separate file.
The flowerbed has been prepared. Thanks to the children’s help, we were able to finish earlier than planned.
flowerbed maintenance
flowerbed maintenance
We began preparing the flowerbeds to plant autumn flowers. During the summer, zinnias were in full bloom throughout the flowerbeds, but by late September, their vitality had begun to fade. So, we decided to replace them with autumn flowers. First, we removed the zinnias from the flowerbeds. Thanks to the help of several students, this was completed in a single day.
Next, we tilled the soil, removed weeds, and leveled the ground while picking out small stones, completing the preparation for sowing seeds. After that, each grade planted cosmos seeds under the guidance of Mr. Shinjo. Within just two days, the cosmos seeds began to sprout, which amazed the children with their speed.
The students are now diligently watering the plants in preparation for the flower competition in December.
Students who arrived early helped with tilling the flowerbed. Thank you!
G4R and G8H always help me. I’m very grateful!
G2M also helps out a lot. Thank you!
The G5 students learning how to sow seeds from Mr. Shinjo.
In kindergarten, each child planted seeds in their own pot.
The G4 students watering the plants during morning activities.
The G3 students watering the plants together with their homeroom teacher.
The G8 students watering the plants in the morning. Get to work!
The students asked for a group photo, so we took one, but climbing on the railing is prohibited. This will serve as good evidence.
The cosmos sprouts appeared in just two days.
I’m already looking forward to seeing what color the flowers will bloom.
Collaborative lessons with public schools
Collaborative lessons with public schools
On Wednesday, September 24, we held a physical education exchange class with Class 3-4 of Kakazu Junior High School in Ginowan City. The purpose of this activity was to help our students become familiar with the public school environment and to interact with peers of the same age. At the end of August, we visited Kakazu Junior High School and requested the exchange class from Principal Masaharu Nakahodo, who kindly agreed. Eleven students from AASO are currently enrolled at Kakazu Junior High, and they were also looking forward to this exchange class with great anticipation.
On the day of the event, we departed on foot for Kakazu Junior High at 2:10 p.m. and arrived just as the sixth-period bell rang at 2:40 p.m. Although we were slightly late, we were relieved to be greeted with smiles by the principal and vice principal. At the entrance to the gymnasium, a large vertical banner read, “Welcome, American School in Okinawa,” which impressed the students greatly. I was deeply moved by Kakazu Junior High School’s hospitality and felt full of gratitude.
During the PE class, the boys played basketball while the girls played soft volleyball in a game-style format. In basketball, both teams played cautiously at first, and scoring was difficult. However, after a short time, the tension eased, and the students began moving actively and scoring points. The final score was 22–16 in favor of AASO, but the skill gap was small, and the students enjoyed the game while following the rules.
In girls’ soft volleyball, since few students had prior experience, the ball did not pass smoothly at first, resulting in isolated plays. After a while, the students rotated members and played in mixed teams, focusing on enjoying the game rather than winning. The students themselves found ways to ensure everyone could participate, keeping the game lively and engaging. Both boys and girls had a very fulfilling exchange experience.
We sincerely thank Principal Masaharu Nakahodo, Vice Principal Jun Atoma, Class 3-4 homeroom teacher Hisashi Yamauchi, and all the students of Class 3-4 at Kakazu Junior High. We look forward to the next exchange!
Instructions before departure. Everyone seems a little nervous.
A heartfelt welcome—it was truly moving.
They are listening carefully to the lesson instructions.
A welcome greeting was given by the boys from Kakazu Junior High. Let’s have fun!

The ball isn’t connecting very well.
What should we do?
They are forming combined teams and discussing the starting lineup.
Rallies are starting to continue.
The fun time passed in the blink of an eye, and everyone praised each other for their efforts.
We thanked each other across the net.
On behalf of AASO, R expressed our thanks and gratitude. It was a lot of fun. Thank you very much!
A female student from Kakazu Junior High also expressed their gratitude on behalf of the school. See you again, and thank you very much!
Career guidance
Career guidance
On Tuesday, September 23, we held a career guidance session at our school with the participation of two alumni. Since September 23 fell on the Autumnal Equinox, public high schools were closed, so we asked a few graduates to share their experiences on high school entrance exams and life in high school with the younger students. Two alumni kindly agreed to participate: Yujin Nagahama, who graduated in 2022, and Keiran Kondo, who graduated in 2023.
Both graduates reflected on their use of the recommendation system for high school admission and particularly emphasized the effort they put into interview practice. They also mentioned that they listed English qualifications—Yujin with Pre-1 EIKEN and Keiran with 1st Grade EIKEN—on their applications, stressing the importance of making English a strength for AASO students.
Regarding high school life, Yujin shared that he enjoys a fulfilling life participating in the student council and club activities. When he has spare time, he works part-time to buy a guitar or cover personal expenses. Keiran shared that he belongs to the basketball club, practices from early morning until late, and has made many friends.
Ms. Aika prepared discussion topics including: “Why did you choose that high school?”, “What did you focus on for entrance exam preparation?”, “What kinds of classes are offered in high school?”, and “Is there academic support available?” Both alumni responded clearly and confidently.
During the Q&A session, students asked questions more about daily life than academics, such as “Do you have a lot of homework?”, “How much do you earn from your part-time job?”, “What do you spend your part-time earnings on?”, and “What advantages have you gained from being good at English?”
In any case, there is no doubt that their stories served as a great inspiration for the current students. We are very grateful to them.
The junior high students listened attentively as Mr. Takayasu and Ms. Aika explained the purpose and significance of the career guidance session. They were very focused.
From left: Keiran, Yujin.
The two graduates have completely different high school lifestyles, which made their stories very interesting for the junior high students.
Both graduates responded appropriately to the topics prepared by Ms. Aika. Hearing directly from AASO alumni was a valuable learning experience for the current students. Thank you very much.
2025 AEC Donation Presentation Ceremony
2025 AEC Donation Presentation Ceremony
On September 22, we once again received a generous donation from American Engineering Corporation (AEC) for this academic year. This marks the 27th consecutive year of support, and we are deeply grateful for their long-term commitment to AASO since its founding.
In the early years, most of the donations were used to provide financial assistance to families in need, mainly covering tuition reduction. In recent years, however, with the increase in student numbers, the funds have also been used to improve our educational environment. In particular, last year the donations were used for remodeling the entrance hall, purchasing materials for additional classrooms, and installing air conditioning.
The AEC donations have thus been applied in various ways and have become an invaluable resource for enhancing our school’s educational programs. We sincerely appreciate AEC’s continued understanding and support of our school’s education.
Please continue your efforts in nurturing individuals who can contribute to society.
We received the donation certificate from Mr. Kenneth Mark Eckststein, President and CEO.
The AASO donation presentation ceremony was held in the AEC conference room. We are sincerely grateful.
The executives who attended the donation presentation ceremony. From left: Mr. Sasahara, Assistant Director of the President’s Office; Mr. Kenneth, President; and Mr. Nagamine, Executive Director.

Start of the Second Semester
On Tuesday, September 2, we held the opening assembly for the second semester. Although it was immediately after the long summer vacation, the students were already lined up and waiting quietly before the assembly began. I praised the students for their excellent listening behavior and spoke about the upcoming events and lessons for the second semester, as well as the importance of maintaining good daily habits.
I read Japanese. You read English.Based on reflections from the first semester, we reviewed with the students their attitudes toward lessons and daily behavior for the second semester.
We also introduced two new teachers. From left: Ms. Rua and Mr. Isa. Ms. Rua introduced herself with a very energetic voice, while Mr. Isa gave his introduction using English, which he is still getting used to. Please give them a warm welcome.
The volunteer committee members are carrying out the greeting campaign from the very first day of the second semester. They’re ready to do their best this semester too!
