Our sincere appreciation goes to Mr. Watanabe (chairman), Mr. Shimizu and Mr. Saito for their contributions to our school.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright  wp-image-4401\" src=\"https:\/\/jlsp.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"156\" height=\"151\" data-id=\"4401\" \/> As you know, our school is organized by the board members, the parent committee, the parent-governed business committee, and the teacher association. We are all involved with running the school. The role of the board members, I think, is to support making the school a fun and cheerful environment for children.<br \/>\nThe following three activities are critical to making this happen.<br \/>\n<b>1) Hiring teachers\/ Human resource<\/b><br \/>\n<b>2) Maintaining a good relationship with Friends Central School<\/b><br \/>\n<b>3) Managing tuition money wisely<\/b><\/p>\n<p>My own child is studying here with great teachers. I\u2019d like to do my best as chairman as well as a parent to maintain and develop<\/p>\n<p>the school quality with all of you. I appreciate your cooperation.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft  wp-image-4402\" src=\"https:\/\/jlsp.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"182\" height=\"185\" data-id=\"4402\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jlsp.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/2.png 130w, https:\/\/jlsp.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/2-60x60.png 60w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 182px) 100vw, 182px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b>Fujii Yasuhiro (Chairman\/Communication)<br \/>\nYasuyuki Miyake (Human Resource\/Fundraising)<br \/>\nYukihiro Kato (Human Resource\/Public Relations)<br \/>\nChisato Aoyama (Human Resource\/Chairman for Parent Committee)<br \/>\nKatsumi Kusachi (Accountant)<br \/>\nYosuke Segawa (IT)<br \/>\nSadao Kawahara (School Representative)<br \/>\nKoji Shimada (Consultant)<b><\/b><\/b><\/p>\n<h2>Invoice for Third Semester Tuition<a href=\"https:\/\/jlsp.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/3.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-4403\" src=\"https:\/\/jlsp.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/3.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"103\" height=\"129\" data-id=\"4403\" \/><\/a><\/h2>\n<p>The invoice will be sent to the e-mail address you registered with around the first day of third semester.
