Japan Day

Each year Edgren High School hosts a Japan day.  Local Japanese folks come and set up booths for us Americans.  Some of the things that we've done at Japan day are: making a paper kite, making pottery, watching Taiko drummers, dressing in kimonos/samurai gear, getting name written in Japanese, looking and Japanese wooden masks, and flowers, and much more.  It's a great way to get to experience so many aspects of the Japanese culture.  In return we Americans host an American day once a year for the Japanese.  There is also a food booth outside where you can buy yummy yakisoba (noodles) and yakitori (chicken on a stick).
