Sayonara for now...

Hello Russell Street!  It's hard to believe that summer is here already!  Time seems to have sped up this past month as the school year has ended.

Kaela went to prom....

And graduated from high school (it was a great day but we all missed Littleton!)

And Tommy graduated from 8th grade (there were 19 countries represented in his 8th grade class!)....

Then several "sayonara" parties as we said farewell to new friends whose time in Japan has ended... 

Tommy and Noelle are already home in Littleton... enjoying being back with our dog Molly... and hearing English being spoken everywhere... grocery stores... Five Guys and Yangtze River... trees and birds!.... etc.  Kaela and I stay here in Tokyo for a few more weeks for our jobs.  We (Tommy, Mr. Nanto and myself) look forward to summer in the U.S. ... and then ONE more year in Tokyo.

Students and teachers at Russell Street, it's been fun to share some of our adventures with you this year!  I  have thought of you often and I have missed you.  Perhaps I'll run into some of you around town or at Kimball's this summer:).

Love, Mrs. Nanto
