2023 Athletic Festival Slogan: "Eagles in flight"

　This year's Athletic Festival was the first time in four years that there were no restrictions due to the change in the treatment of coronavirus to Class 5 under the Infectious Disease Control Law.
　Once the competition started, the students received enthusiastic support from many parents and guardians, and they worked hard to demonstrate their abilities and cooperation with their friends. Thanks to their efforts, the day was filled with wonderful memories for the students,parents,and guardians
　For the third-year students, it was their last gymnastic festival. For the 2nd year students, it was their last gymnastic festival, and they were cheering for their seniors as they watched their seniors' performance at the cheering area. After the P.E. festival, we hope that their future school life will be enriched with the slogan of the P.E. festival, "Eagles in flight".　　
　Thank you to all parents and community members for your understanding and cooperation in our schools education.

Open School on April 28th

Thank you very much for the great number of people who attended our Open School.
 With the warm days reminiscent of early summer continuing, students are getting accustomed to school, and we are seeing more and more scenes of them being energetic and active with bright eyes as the days go by. First-year students are finally getting used to life at junior high school, second-year students have grown as they have moved up one grade, and third-year students are proud to be upperclassmen. At the open school, it was impressive to see them participating in the classes with bright eyes and hard work.

On April 17th, 2023 an evacuation drill was held.　

☆Earthquake:  3 actions to protect yourself	☆Check the evacuation route,   avoid smoke, and evacuate.	☆Evacuate to the school yard and  check who is enrolled in the school.
☆Disaster Prevention Manager's talk	☆Principal's talk	☆Raising awareness of disaster prevention   through evacuation drills

 With the start of the new fiscal year, we once again practiced what to do in the event of a disaster.
This year's drill was based on the assumption of a major earthquake (seismic intensity of 6 on the Japanese scale), and confirmed how to respond to a major earthquake, how to respond to a fire, and how to evacuate.
 Since this was the first drill of the school year, there were some less serious moments. We hope that the students will learn from this drill to think and act with a firm resolve against disasters that may occur at any time in the future, and to play a central role in the local community.
 We would like to ask you to reconfirm at home what you should do in the event of a disaster such as a major earthquake. We ask for your understanding and cooperation regarding natural disasters.

　For the first time in four years, all the students gathered in the gymnasium to start the new school year with a bright and fresh feeling. The infection control measures have been gradually eased, and life at the Third Junior High School is beginning to be as active as it used to be. 3rd graders will lead the school firmly as the highest grade, and 2nd graders as the middle grade. I am looking forward to their future school life.

I support all the students who are working hard toward their dreams and hopes. Our entire staff is here to support you." Take care of your health.

 Congratulations to the graduates!
 As a token of their appreciation and support, the 1st and 2nd year students made a video to present to the graduates. The committee members and student council put their heart and soul into making this video so that it will be a memorable experience for the 3rd year students.
 The second-year students planned to use a time machine to go back in time and look back on many memories, while the first-year students presented a large mural of about 3,000 cranes that they had all folded under the title "Crane's Return".
 Many messages were received from club activities and teachers who had helped the students, making the event a memorable one.
 The last project was a slide show through which we viewed an album of memories. Many of them had tears in their eyes as they recalled how difficult school life was due to the spread of the corona virus infection.
 Thank you so much, graduates. We will never forget you. We look forward to your future endeavors.
 Good-bye.
