Japan Culture Day (Friday, March 29th)
PTA together with the Japanese teachers are putting together another great event this year. This year’s theme is “Japan’s Prefectures”. We are still looking for parent volunteers. If you are proud of a prefecture you come from, please contact the Office and become our guest speaker to tell us what makes your prefecture special.
PTA will share more details about Japan Culture Day closer to the date, however, as the heads-up, please prepare Japanese costume for your child to wear on the day. Costumes could be traditional (yukata, jimbei etc.) or ninja, Hello Kitty, Pokemon… anything “Japan-related”.
Sincerely,
UST Office
