Grade 11 coffee run

Grade eleven students completed the coffee run for the second week in a row today. They raised 8,699 yen this week bringing the total money raised to 16,336 yen. This was especially impressive this week as they had to change into their Japanese Culture Day costumes right after delivering the coffees and still make it to their first period classes on time!

Our first delivery to Nakahama ES

Friday, April 22^nd Saint Maur forwarded a very large package of goodies to Nakahama Elementary School. Already this week the Relief Fund has enabled us to purchase and forward items that the Japanese Education Department cannot cover, such as a shredder, a laminator and a label printer. Friday’s goodies also included toothbrushes, cups and a carry bag for each student and member of staff. Also enclosed were lots of Easter eggs and letters/pictures of support and encouragement from our Elementary School students (a big thank you to our Japanese teachers who spent a good deal of time editing the letters!) In addition, we packed some Saint Maur sakura tumblers and a Saint Maur year book. Let's keep up our fund-raising efforts so that we can continue to make a positive impact on the lives of the children and teachers at Nakahama ES.
