Happy New Year! 「明けましておめでとうございます。今年もよろしくお願いします。」This could be heard throughout the halls of the school as the new year has started. The students’ excitement could be felt as they met their friends and teachers for the first time in the new year. Everyone could hardly wait to share what they had done over the winter vacation and lively voices could be heard from all the classrooms before the starting chimes.

When the chime sounded, it was great to see that the students didn’t miss a beat to jump right back into their studies. They all seemed renewed, refreshed and ready to start from where they had left off with no delay.

And just like their studies, the students did not miss a beat to enjoy their recess time as well. Looks like a good start to the new year.
