On November 15th, the Japanese School had an Open House and the students displayed their school work and crafts. The students had done calligraphy of certain Kanji’s, enjoying the art of black ink and trying to keep clean. The prints were on display at the Open House and will also be displayed at the JVCC’s New Year Celebration.
The School would like to welcome the new students who have joined us this year: Amanda Houston; Jake Houston; Kimi Murai; and Alex Sadamune.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!

Questions and Answers
