Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a great Harvest Day on Tuesday! The students learned about the first Thanksgiving, made turkeys, made thankful pumpkins, and played Thanksgiving themed games. In the afternoon we also enjoyed some yummy pie!

4. Next Friday (November 30th) is our annual 1st-5th Christmas Program. This year it is at the Uruma Citizens' Art Theater. Students need to arrive by 5:30 unless they have a speaking or solo (then they need to arrive at 5:15). Please make sure your student is dressed up for this event. School will end at 12:30 on this day to give students time to get home and then get to the theater.  Here is the website for the theater so you can find directions: http://www.uruma-theater.jp/
