After our experiences with Peace Boat, it was decided that we would donate a further 1,000,000 Yen from our fund to assist them with their relief work in Ishinomaki City over the winter. A Peace Boat representative joined us for the second time at our Xmas Bazaar, and will again visit our school Friday, November 18th.
The committee decided to assist Nakahama & Yamashita Elementary Schools in replenishing the international section of their libraries. We also thought you might like to donate a book about your country. Ideally, the books should target elementary students whose first language is Japanese. The books might be about food, sports from around the world, dance, geography, history, or even atlases. You can drop off a book in the collection boxes by the Front Office, near the Faculty Room or in the Montessori Building.
Finally, December 11th marks the 9th month since the magnitude 9 quake hit Japan. We would love to see as many members of the Saint Maur Community as possible in their Pray for Japan t-shirts during the school day.
