This was followed by some wise words (really I have no idea what was said since it was all in Japanese) from the mayor. A few other really important people spoke too. Here is the head honcho from the Board of Education addressing the students.
After that, everyone did stretches together-it was hilarious.
Even the teachers and board of education guys joined in.
Next came the dancing. Each school had a dance prepared. Some were better than others of course—it was pretty entertaining, even if it did get a little boring after seeing all eleven schools perform. Here are some random pictures from the dancing.
Here is Kayada:
Here is Ohwada's pyramid. (Ohwada is another jr. high) These kids climb all over each other.
Random picture of Yachiyodai Nishi, another junior high
After lunch there were typical track and field events. Here are my kids jump roping.
Lauren, Liz, and I basically used this time to socialize—surprising, huh? Really, the best part of sports festival was that we didn’t have school and got to be outside all day.
This is me with one of my favorite students (who also happens to be one of the bad kids at my school—go figure). His name is Toshiaki.
Here is me and Ken. He is the student teacher at my school.
Ok, that's enough of the picture overload...
