Konnichiwa uring the first two weeks of Iuly, stu- dents from Mr. Abels Iapanese class traveled to the beautiful islands of Iapan. 'lhey were able to learn about the lapa- nese culture and traditions through homestays with Iapanese high school students. Thanks to the help of Mr. Abe and the parent volunteers, the students were able to engage in productive learning experiences. The first week there, stu- dents stayed in a little town, lnuyama, where they focused deeply on the heritage of the Iapanese. They later traveled to the big city of Tokyo, then Hiroshima. They experienced the culture of Tokyo, were amazed by the great fashion and more advanced technology of , the country. In Hiroshima, the students were educated about World War ll. Iunior Sean Boisy said that The museum we visited was very educational yet sad at the same time. I loved spending time in another a coun- try that reflects my heritage. They went on tours of the city, learning about different sites significant to the war. t tw? if if-,au ,, Jw if wtf, , ABOVE: Senior Iessxca Mock and Senior Kelly Wong cleanse themselves with holy water before entering the Iapanese Temple.
