Last Sunday, we celebrated our cub students's graduation. The government is limiting bigger gatherings because of COVID-19, however we were able to host a more intimate gathering with just the parents and a few siblings. We felt so lucky to still have the opportunity to celebrate the cub student's accomplishments together. We had a beautiful graduation hosted by our emcee, Shayne. The students had a lot of mixed feelings because although they were happy to start Elementary School, they were also sad to leave YGK and all of their friends and teachers. Despite the nerves, they did a wonderful job presenting their graduation speeches where they discussed their favorite subject, hobbies, and aspirations, as well as thanking their parents, teachers and friends. We were all so proud of them. They also sang three lovely songs accompanied on piano by their music teacher, Akiko Sensei. We all shed some tears hearing the beautiful songs they had prepared. After receiving their diplomas, the parents all pinned a corsage on their children's graduation gown, signaling all their accomplishments these past few years at YGK. After the teacher's speeches, the parents were able to thank the school and congratulate all of their children. They prepared a wonderful slideshow of memories from the past few years. It was so amazing to see how much they had grown! One of the student's father also shared a heartfelt speech and another father sang us all a song. It really was such a special and beautiful day that we will always remember. Thank you so much to the parents for all your support these past few years and of course to the cub students. We are so proud of you! We hope you have a wonderful time in Elementary School and achieve all of your dreams!
