Grade Twos Face Fears, Climb Obstacles, and Reach High!

On Thursday, October 6th, the Grade Two Seisen girls went to the Tsukushino Obstacle Course. We went on this trip to give the girls a hands-on opportunity to gain awareness of their strengths and limitations. Putting it simply, we want our grade twos to be committed (even when being attacked by mosquitos), to set goals to overcome life's obstacles, and ultimately to be awesome.
