Uruma City—Throughout the 2020 school year, Okinawa AMICUS International Elementary School teacher Kaoru Joanna Uezu worked with her fifth-grade class to send submissions to the “Voice” and “Ryu PON!” sections of the Ryukyu Shimpo. The children’s submissions were accepted one by one, and on December 23, the last student’s work was printed—meaning all 21 students in the class have been published. Uezu’s class the previous year accomplished this feat as well.

 

One student had ten submissions printed since April, including the Okinawa Times. Another student, Aine Matsumura, 11, said, “My most memorable submission was about my appreciation for the support from my teachers and the people around me.” Uezu explained, “Every year for about 20 years, I’ve had my students make submissions to newspapers. It offers the children a great opportunity to express and communicate their thoughts through various channels.”
