Dear KNI students

Did you have a good time during winter break?
Do you remember Santa Clause came to KNI to bring presents to all of you?
Did he come to your place, too?

The daikons in the KNI garden have grown so much while you were enjoying winter break!
Did you see them? Believe it or not, they are going to be much, much bigger!

The new year 2010, ( Heisei year 22 ) has started.
It is the year of the Tiger this year.
Did you receive a Tiger new year's card from KNI?
Did you notice you can actually cut it out and make a decoration?
If you haven't tried yet, please enjoy making your own new year's decoration.
Let's have another fun year with us at KNI!
