What a Wonderful Community We Are

園長、優子さん、関係者の皆様、先生方、

 
日曜日は大変お疲れさまでした。
晴天に恵まれ、大きなけがもなく無事に終了したことを嬉しく思っています。
皆さんの協力がなければ参加者全員の笑顔につながらなかったと思います。
大変すばらしいコミュニティーと痛感しました。
 
特に今回は終わって三々五々帰宅の途に着くときに振り返ってフィールドを見たら、ごみ一つ落ちてないことに感嘆しました。
３００名強の参加者が；
校歌を歌い、ラジオ体操をして、宣誓して、食べて、飲んで、走って、歩いて、投げて、引っ張って、笑って、しゃべって！これ？？？？
ごみ一つ落ちてない現実に改めて、後世に引き継がれるマナー以上の美点と感じました。
 
本当にありがとうございました。

Dear Principal, Yuko-san, PTA President, Picnic Committee members, and Teachers,
 
Thank you very much for your hard work on Sunday.
 
We were blessed with fine weather and are pleased that the event was completed safely without any serious injuries.
 
Without everyone's cooperation, we would not have been able to bring smiles to the faces of all the participants. I really felt that we have a wonderful community.
 
This time in particular, when we finished and started heading home in groups of two or three, we looked back at the field and were amazed to see that there was not a single piece of trash on the ground.
 
Over 300 participants; Singing the school song, doing radio calisthenics, taking the oath, eating, drinking, running, walking, throwing, pulling, laughing, talking! This???
 
Seeing the fact that there was not a single piece of trash on the ground made me realize that this is more than just good manners that can be passed on to future generations.
 
Thank you very much.
