Japan Night

Tonight, the students put on a wonderful presentation for us!  We learned more about Japanese culture, and everyone enjoyed themselves.

A big thank you to these 16 wonderful students, their host families, co-teacher Amy Woolston, Jacy Fry for making this awesome experience happen, and Amber Alfson for all her help!

I had a to say a tearful goodbye to all of the students tonight.  Jacy will update this blog so you can all see the pictures from their upcoming Black Hills trip. 

Enjoy these great pictures!
