Following the entrance ceremonies for the Junior High School and Kindergarten, we held the final ceremony for our Elementary School Grade 1 students.

The new first graders, looking a little nervous yet excited, were gently led to their seats by the Grade 6 students.

Seeing the older students kindly guide and support them filled the hall with a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Next, the Grade 6 students and teachers performed a heartfelt welcoming school song.

The Grade 1 students who had just moved up from kindergarten joined in as well, and the venue was filled with cheerful voices.

After that, our Principal, Mr. Ken Oshiro, shared a message about each child’s future possibilities and potential.

During his talk, a magic performance was presented, where clear water changed colors when shaken.

One after another, the children’s favorite colors appeared, bringing smiles and excitement to the room.

“Every color is possible. Every future is open!”

Through this magic, he shared a message of hoping that each child will cherish their own dreams, values, and possibilities as they grow.

At the end of the ceremony, everyone gathered for a group photo.

The bright smiles of the Grade 1 students in their new uniforms beautifully captured the excitement of this special new beginning.

As our Grade 1 students begin their elementary school journey, we will continue to warmly support and encourage them as they experience many new “firsts” and grow along the way.
