Following junior high school and kindergarten, we had the elementary graduation ceremony.

It seems only yesterday that we saw them walking hand in hand with the upper graders at the entrance ceremony.

After spending six years together, the representative of the graduates talked about the bonds they made with friends who were leaving the prefecture or going overseas and how sad they were to say goodbye.

The father of the parent representative spoke of the days when parents and children worked together with teachers in remote classes even during the Coronavirus pandemic.

Teachers, who had seen students grow up since kindergarten and elementary years, had tears in their eyes.

We wish them a fulfilling new junior high school experience starting in April.
