We have various parties and events throughout the year for this purpose.The year begins with a traditional Japanese New Year’s party for adult students.
In America, Valentine’s Day is a day to exchange cards and gifts between friends and family. In our English school, we decorated large envelopes using cartoons and markers, and hung them over the window. Classmates selected printed valentines imported from America and signed them with their names in English.
The Saturday before Easter, we have a western style spring party for children in the park of our town. In the United States and some European countries, hunting for colored eggs marks the beginning of spring.
Following this event are picnics and bar-b-que parties throughout the summer.
Our busy holiday season begins with Halloween . On the last day of October, children and adults dress in scary costumes and visit various homes for trick-or-treating. Children knock on the front door of homes, who participate in our Halloween celebration, and say “trick-or-treat”. They are then given candy.
The first day of November, we begin preparations for our Christmas visits to area nursing home for the elderly. We end the year, as always, with a Christmas party and a visit from Santa!
