Clarendon JBBP

JBBPファミリーの皆さん、

Thank you everyone for making Community Arts and Science Day 2012 a huge success! This was a tremendous event that points to the many components that make up Clarendon. I would like to give appreciations to our wonderful parent community who organized and supported the 40+ workshops. I would also like to thank our growing list of community partners, and of course to our teachers and students who were outstanding in their support and participation. We continue to have parent and student alumni presence which all help to make this a very special day.

This Thursday Clarendon will be honored by the Japanese government. JBBP will be presented with a cherry blossom tree by the Consulate General of Japan at the front of the school. The presentation of the tree is one of the initiatives to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Japan’s gift of 3,000 cherry trees to Washington D.C. The Consulate General is presenting “friendship cherry trees” to Clarendon JBBP for promoting U.S.-Japan friendship and exchange. Clarendon students and families have benefited greatly through the ongoing relationship with the Japanese Consulate. We are especially grateful to the Consul General and his staff for their ongoing support.
