(New York, NY—March 20, 2017) High Tech
Japanese language and culture students attended the
Japanese Spring Festival (Harumatsuri)
at the United Nations International School, announced Dr. Joseph Giammarella,
Principal of High Tech.
Sponsored by the Northeast Council of
Teachers of Japanese (NECTJ), Harumatsuri
featured an array of traditional Japanese activities in which students
could take part and delicious foods that students could sample to experience
and better understand Japanese culture.
Almost 400 students from schools in the
Tri-State area attended Harumatsuri. Groups of students met one another and took
turns visiting booths to practice their Japanese. Judges graded students according to their competence
with the language, and the group that spoke Japanese the best won prizes.
