佐渡島の鼓童( KODO ) in Chicago

二月十七日に岩岡アレクサさん（日系人の生徒、四年生）とキ・ダオくん（四年生）と私(教師）はシカゴのオーケストラ･ホールに行きました。
佐渡島の鼓童( KODO )のコンサートを聞いて、見ました。
とても印象的で素晴らしかったです。
佐渡島は新潟県じゃないかと思っています。そうですか。
市立のみなさん、鼓童( KODO )を見た、聞いたことがありますか。

On February 17th, Alexa　I., Keith D., and I went to Chicago's Orchestra Hall. We saw ｄand heard a concert by the Kodo drummers from Sado Island. They were very impressive and splendid. I'm thinking that Sado Island is in Niigata Prefecture. Is that correct? Have any of you Ichiritsu people ever seen or heard Kodo?

First Entry for 2009

The sister-school relationship between Chicago's Walter Payton College Preparatory High School and Osaka City Senior High School { 大阪市立高等学校} was created thanks to the assistance of Consul General Yoshizawa and Akari Rokumoto of the City of Osaka Office in Chicago. Payton students visited Osaka in June of 2006 and June of 2008. Osaka Ichiritsu students came to Payton for the first time on October 31st of 2007. Another visit is expected in November of 2009.
