ISP Japanese track alumni students won 1st, 2nd & 3rd palaces at the 30th Annual Japanese Speech Contest (Division 2) last week!
1st place – Nanami Buckendahl (class 2016)
2nd place – Kate Andrews (class 2017)
3rd place – Ayush Wynkoop (class 2017)
This contest, organized by the Consular Office of Japan, is for students who are studying Japanese in middle and high schools (division 1), and Immersion program students of middle and high schools (division 2) in Oregon.
Special thanks to ISP teacher Keiko Buckendahl sensei, who has continued to tutor these alumni because their chosen middle schools do not offer Japanese. Congratulations, Namami, Kate, and Ayush!
