Dear Parents,

We are getting  ready for our Annual  Sports' Day (Undokai).  

Undokai is a traditional  Japanese Sports Day held in the fall  every year. We would like to share this  experience with  our students.  The teachers have been working very hard to make this Undookai a great one. The theme of the Undokai is cooperation, sportsmanship, and competition. We would like the parents to cooperate by following  a few guidelines:

PLEASE:

1)  Serve your child a healthy  breakfast during  the week.

2)  Provide water for your child during Undokai week. (We will  practice during  the week and the students will be outside. )

3)  Dress your child in proper shoes and running attire and send sunscreen.

4)  Come and observe the  Undokai; but only authorized personnel may enter the chalked-off, game  area .

5)  Talk to your child's teacher about bringing blankets or tarps to sit on.

6)  Teachers will  ask for parents to sit with their class during the Undokai.

7)  Check with  your child's teachers about where your child will  be sitting  during the Undokai.

8)  If you know your child will not be at school on the above dates, please let your child's teacher know.

9)  Encourage your child to show good sportsmanship during all events.

We hope to have a great Undokai. The students will not only be experiencing a Sports

Day but a little bit of Japanese culture as well. The students are practicing the games during PE. We are working towards making this a great day!

Thank  you,

El Marino Staff
