Cultural and Educational Tour of Japan
Six Cambridge students spent their Spring Break visiting Tokyo, Yokohama, Hiroshima, Kyoto, and Miyajima, as part of a cultural and educational tour of Japan. The trip was sponsored by the Japan-American Society. The trip focused on exposing the students to elements of Japanese culture, history, economy, and government. To that end, the students were given the opportunity to experience everything from a Japanese Ramen museum to culturally significant memorials, shrines, and temples to touring a Nissan automotive plant. They sampled a wide variety of Japanese food, explored diverse parts of many of Japan's major cities, and met and interacted with Japanese citizens from many different backgrounds.
Teacher, Bryan Wallace said, "I truly believe the students emerged with a deeper understanding not only of the nation of Japan and it's unique culture but also of the economic and political significance of the U.S. - Japanese relationship." Mr. Wallace and Ms. Premoli accompanied students: Bryce Boutelle, Jack Gaertner, Morgan Perkins, Caroline Redick, Trey Rielly, and Jack Tindle. |

FCS Partners with Purposity
Connecting students in need
In Fulton County we are always looking to join forces with other partners and organizations who will help us make a bigger impact in the lives of the community we serve. With this vision in mind, we are excited to introduce our newest partner, Purposity, an Atlanta-based organization that will connect Fulton students in need with people in the community that can help. This is done through a mobile app designed to make it easy for neighbors to help neighbors.
By signing up, generous donors are sent a weekly notification with a specific need for a specific student. It might be a winter jacket for a middle schooler or household essentials for a high school family that lost its home in a fire. Users decide if they want to help and in just a few clicks on their phone, the need is met. They know exactly who they are helping and why. It's the simplest way to make an impact locally.
The app is available in the App Store, on Google Play, or by going to
www.purposity.com
