This spring, on April 3, the foreign language club held a hanami picnic under the blooming cherry trees in the city park. Students brought snacks, got to know each other, and enjoyed the warm weather together. Petals drifted through the air as everyone sat on picnic sheets, laughing and chatting in Japanese, English, French, Italian, and Indonesian.

Joto is happy to welcome a new Italian exchange student this year, and the hanami was a perfect chance for students to practice their language skills and make new friends beneath the cherry blossoms.

As the petals began to fall, the scene captured a quiet appreciation for the fleeting beauty of the moment. The blooms will soon disappear, just as students continue to grow and change with each passing season.

It was a simple and meaningful event. Students opened up, shared cultures, and celebrated the season of change, beautiful while it lasted.

今年の春、4月3日に外語部は市内の公園で満開の桜の下、お花見ピクニックを開催しました。
生徒たちはお菓子を持ち寄り、暖かい陽気の中で交流を深めました。レジャーシートの上では、日本語、英語、フランス語、イタリア語、インドネシア語、ドイツ語が飛び交い、桜の花びらが舞う中、生徒たちは笑い合い、会話を楽しんでいました。

今年度、城東高校にはイタリアからの交換留学生が新たに加わり、 お花見は言語を練習したり、新しい友達をつくったりする絶好の機会となりました。
