Parents Association Board -- February 2016

From: Mochitsuki (Rice Pounding) Event Committee


Our annual Mochitsuki Festival was held on January 10th. This year, we had a good weather, we had 562 visitors at the festival and also collected $1435 for donation. We had a wonderful performance from L.A. Matsuri Daiko and we had a very successful event. We would like to thank all the class mothers, volunteers for both the previous day and the day of the event, PTA members, teachers from both Weekdays and Japanese classes, and the families who supported them. The collected donation will go toward the continuous funds for the Mochitsuki Festival. We look forward to seeing all of you at the Mochitsuki Festival next year!

From: Chef Akira’s Cooking Class


We are going to have a cooking class (demonstration style) by Chef Akira Hirose who is an owner-chef at a French restaurant, Maison Akira, in Pasadena again for this year on Wednesday, March 16th. The class will run from 8:45AM to 11:30AM. We are welcoming any parents to participate in the class as we do offer the daycare service for your children younger than school-age during the class. (Your children can join you for the tasting time.) We will let you know about the class fee and detailed information soon and post it on the Message Board and notify you by mail. We can also provide the English version of the recipes for participants who are English speakers. This is a great opportunity for you to learn how to cook authentic French dishes at home and also learn from the top-notch Chef Akira. We are looking forward to your participation.

From: Kodomo no Ie Festival – PA Bazaar


We are planning to have a PA Bazaar on Saturday, March 12th, (11:00AM - 14:00). If it rains on the scheduled day, we will reschedule the event for the following week. All profit from the event will either go toward PA funding or will be donated to Shishiori Elementary School where the Great East Japan Earthquake caused tremendous damage. This year, we are planning to have a “festival” like bazaar. We are thinking of offering some food and playing games for the kids’ corner. We also will have products for children, Hand-made Crafts, Sanrio products and even Raffles. Detailed information will be provided to you as the date gets closer and also via the PA newsletter. Like last year, we are asking for donations from local companies. If you know anyone who is willing to donate products for this event, please let your Class Mother and/or PA members know. Thank you very much for your support.

Christmas Pagent DVDs


We had a DVD creation volunteer filming crew, Mr. Jonny Karisson and Mr. Don Ptashne. Because of them, we were able to create a memorable DVD again. Thank you very much. The DVD should have been distributed to everyone by the end of January. If you have not yet received the DVD even though you had placed an order or if you have some issues with the DVD, please contact PTA via email (kodomonoie.pa@gmail.com).
