(~times are approximates)

 

 
Details:
  • Please remember to be in the SMALL GYM at 9:20am on FRIDAY JUNE 1st. The assembly starts at 9:30am sharp so DO NOT BE LATE and please DO NOT BACK OUT IF YOU SIGNED UP!!! We are counting on you! we will have close to 100 Japanese students that day.

  •  After speeches and presentations, you will each be paired up with 4-6 Japanese students. You will then take your group of students on a tour around the school (follow the instructions on the sheet of paper you will be given). Once the tour is finished you will get a chair for each students in the cafeteria and escort the students to designated classrooms where they will observe a class. Once you've dropped them off you may go to your own class for majority of the period. However, please get out of class (your sheet of paper is your ticket out and Ms.Thomson will email the teachers excusing you) 10 MINS BEFORE LUNCH and GO BACK AND PICK UP THE STUDENTS YOU DROPPED OFF! You will then escort them down to the cafeteria for lunch. Don't forget to bring the chairs back to the cafe!!!

  •  The afternoon will be the time when the Japanese students will be setting up their cultural booths. You will be able to be let out of class to help with this. Just be sure to inform your teacher.

 
It will be a great day! If for some reason you cannot attend (Ex: in event of Extreme illness only), please email me at the address provided on my webpage!

 
Arigatou gozaimasu! It will be a great and fun-filled day!
See you on Friday!
