Graduations!



 Debe's 3 year olds performed at the Kindergarten Graduation last Monday.

They did a great job and were all excited/ nervous to be on stage, but the real stars were the K5 students who are now officially 1st graders!
Oh, and there was another graduation as well: Emi finished 5th grade and graduated that same day.  She is now a Middle School student (6th, 7th, & 8th graders).

Congratulations to all the graduates!

Recycling for Jesus!

As students and teachers are clearing out lockers and desks, it was a great time to recycle some paper!

We have been collecting paper for a couple weeks to benefit Kumamoto.

As you likely heard, there was a severe earthquake there recently. With the 1000 or so aftershocks, many people have had a difficult time sleeping.

Operation Safe provides Summer Camp, with counseling for children affected by this tragedy.

Our recycled paper will go towards the cost for some children to attend this camp. We were able to raise 10,000 yen (about $100) for this one van, which will help to send 3 kids to camp. Pretty cool, since all this paper would have been just thrown away--Praise God we are able to use it instead to further His kingdom!

Day at the Beach

We were looking for a good place to take some pics.

The sunflower fields were all dried up (too hot of a summer), so the beach it was!





You can tell that Mika did not really want to participate, but she had fun still!

At the Aquarium

Dan was asked to fill in for one week of Summer School (as a teacher, not a student).

On Wednesday, we went to the Okinawa Aquarium:

Mika Graduates

Well, after 3 years, Mika has graduated Kindergarten (she started at 3).





She was really excited, but is also quite shy. However, she did a great job of singing several songs with her class.  Congrats Mika!
