Follow up email

I sent a follow up email to sister Kotani, Ms. Mori, and Ms. Yoshida.

In the email, I told them about our open house. The Japan club displayed the full-color yearbook on the table and excitedly talked about our sister school relationship and the collaborative programs.

Homestay program info on Seishin's website:

We also welcome students from St. Anthony High School (HI) and Blair High School (NB) in June. Some of our students and their parents volunteer to offer them a homestay. The students attend classes at Seishin where they learn the Japanese language, the Japanese culture and the Japanese way of thinking and living. Some of the experiences they have are tea ceremony lessons, Koto lessons, outings to famous sites in our area, visits to various temples and shrines, as well as joining in on the homeroom activities with Seishin students. The students from our school and the students from their sister schools help each other all the time, especially with communication and overcoming the language barriers. Their friendships will be stronger as they learn to communicate better in both languages. The fact of the sister school arrangement means that it is easy for the students to keep in touch with each other. We provide our students with the means to make the first steps towards cross-cultural understanding.

=============

From the paragraph, we know that Seishin is providing the homestay program to two other American high schools. Seishin will provide very similar program and schedule to our students.
