Dear MS Parents,
Yesterday we held the MS Olympics 2013. Japan was a wonderful host country and the Japanese community really came together to show their spirit and culture.
The day saw 100’s of students giving it their all, but doing so in the best of athletic spirit and sportsmanship. Numerous students performed at a level high enough to get on the record board. 8 students set a new Olympic record! You can see all of this at this link: Olympic Records
Over 1000 photos were taken. You can find these at Olympic Photos 2013
There are so many people to thank that we are sure we will miss some. However, none of this would be possible without everyone helping in some form or another.
Big Thank You to:
- · Japanese community for being so supportive and helpful and arranging wonderful games and opening ceremony with Lien Indigne.
- · Trista Meisner and her students for all your artwork
- · All the teachers and parent volunteers who helped run the events.
- · The MS secretaries for arranging flags, food, and more.
- · Khun Apple for all of her efforts and help with the decorations.
- · Khun Det and the Thai support staff for the amazing set up of all the facilities. Without you we would be nowhere.
- · Myuki Jesse and her Japanese students for making all the Japanese signs and shurikens.
- · Joni Arnold and her 5th grade students for making the fish kites.
- · Kahoru Nakamachi for organizing the fisherman dance and communicating with the parent group.
- · All the performers: Grade 5 choir, MS/HS choir (Japanese students), Gym Cats, the fisherman dancers, the kendo performers, the sumo wrestlers.
- · Mr. Nakagawa for his opening speech.
- · All the MS students for just being so great and showing your energy and spirit.
- · The MS PE Department (we have a great team who love what we do)
We are already thinking about who will host next year. Suggestions?
Thank you,
MS PE Department
