On December 25, New Balance baseball gloves, gifted by a baseball player Shohei OHTANI, arrived at the elementary school attached to the School of Education and the school of special needs education elementary section attached to the School of Education.
While the schools are currently on winter break, the children will receive the gloves a little later. The children, eagerly asked Vice Principal KOBAYASHI Norihiko every day, 'Have Ohtani's gloves arrived? When will they arrive?' are sure to look forward to returning to school in the new semester.
At the beginning of the new semester, Principal MAEDA Kiyoshi and Principal TAKEMOTO Toshiya will announce the much-anticipated arrival of the gloves at the opening ceremony, and the gloves will be unveiled in each classroom. It's exciting to see how the children will react with joy and emotion.
Mr. Ohtani, thank you very much for the wonderful gift! In the upcoming new semester, we plan to deliver messages of thanks and gratitude from the children, along with their smiles and the atmosphere within the school.
In 2024, the Chinese zodiac sign is the rare 'kinoetatsu' (Wood Dragon), occurring only once every 60 years, symbolizing the auspicious year for starting new things and the fruition of preparations made in the past.
Mr. Ohtani, we look forward to your continued success with the Los Angeles Dodgers in this new chapter.
Gift of Baseball Gloves from Shohei OHTANI!
