MLWGS students and families will be hosting 12 Japanese exchange students and one teacher from Chiben Gakuen from March 2 to 16. Chiben Gakuen, is in Wakayama, Japan, which is about 2 hours and 30 minutes south of Kyoto via train.
In addition to visiting Maggie Walker, the Japanese students will be participating in a number of field trips, including to the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (VMFA), Carytown, the Science Museum, and Surge RVA. They will also go on an overnight trip to Washington, D.C. as well. It is sure to be an amazing time.
Special recognition and gratitude to Ms. Yoko Eshita for her work and efforts coordinating the details that made this exchange possible.
