Paulownia Festival – September 15^th - 16^th, 2018
 
        The “Paulownia Festival” is one of my favorite school events! This two-day event highlights our students’ creativity, hard work, and passion as they create wonderful high school memories. Per tradition, the festival started with third-year students performing both funny and dramatic skits. After lunch, family and friends from the local community can enjoy the special attractions hosted by first and second-year homeroom classes.
 
        Although this year’s culture festival was held on a rainy weekend, students and visitors alike were in high spirits. The hallways were crowded with students laughing, taking selfies, and standing in long lines to buy tickets for okonomiyaki and kakigori. Every classroom looked completely different as they were transformed into escape games, haunted houses, and attractive photo spots.
 
        Every part of the school showcased our students’ talent and hard work in creating a successful event. In the gym, there were special performances by various clubs such as the brass band, piano, and dance clubs. On the upper floors of the main building, educational exhibits and impressive student artwork were on display. Even the school library was filled with posters showing students’ recommendations for their favorite books.
 
         I am so happy that I got to share this year’s Paulownia Festival with friends who I’ve made since moving to Japan a year ago. This will be a great memory that I’ll cherish forever!
