Dear friends and families of Yujin Gakuen,
We are finishing our last full, 5-day week of school. We have 13 and a half days remaining. We are approaching the end of the school year. We are looking forward to some end-of-the-year activities. Next week, 5th grade will have Outdoor School. The following week, the primary grades will have bilingual store and we will all enjoy Field Day on the 9th. 💌🌻
On a different note: I had shared with families at our PTO meeting last Thursday that I would be posting links to the play performances held last week. However, I spoke too soon, and I will not be sharing that information in the newsletter since it is available to anyone on the internet. Instead, the teachers are sharing the videos with families directly to their emails. I apologize for giving out incorrect information, and I thank you for understanding.
I hope you have a relaxing Memorial Day weekend with friends and loved ones. Thank you for supporting Yujin Gakuen.
Yours sincerely,
Kocho Sensei
Just a quick note about yoyo’s…
Our school has purchased a large set of yoyo’s that are available for ALL students to play with during recess time. If your child has shown interest in getting a yoyo from the school, please know that we purchased our set from the local Dollar Tree store (now $1.25!). If you still want the official NED yoyo, those will be available this week only.
Thanks!
Scott Sensei

Em’s Game- Asian American Council of Oregon (AACO) and DisOrient Asian American Film Festival of OregonTomorrow evening there is an Em’s Game that is a benefit for both the Asian American Council of Oregon (AACO) and DisOrient Asian American Film Festival of Oregon. The Asian American Council is going into its 37th year and DisOrient into its 18th year. They have become “landmarks” in the community and throughout the region. The Asian Council is the sponsor of the Annual Asian Celebration which has drawn many people over the years, and DisOrient has screened films to 1,000’s of fans. Many of you attended the first ever Asian Night Market that week in downtown Eugene, an event sponsored by the Asian Council that included a film screened by DisOrient. Both are 501(c)(3) all-volunteer organizations, with volunteers participating from all walks of life and from all generations, from youth to elders. Both partner together on many things, including fundraising. So you can choose which organization to purchase tickets from with either link below. Tickets are $12.00 each with $6.00 going to the organization. If you cannot attend the game tomorrow evening, I would encourage you to still make a donation by contacting Carrie or Pam (see email addresses below). Eugene Emeralds Baseball aka EMs (Minor League for the San Francisco Giants) Location: PK Park, 2800 Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard, Eugene, Oregon 97402 (next to Autzen Stadium) Opponents: Tri-City Dust Devils (Minor League for the Los Angeles Angels) Tickets — DisOrient Asian American Film Festival of Oregon Contact: Pam Quan pam@disorientfilm.org Tickets — Asian American Council of Oregon (AACO) Contact: Carrie Matsushita csm1770@gmail.com Additional Links:

Virtual Public Works WeekThe city isn’t doing an in-person Public Works Day this year, but they are offering a Virtual Public Works Week instead. If you’d like to show your student, they created a series of eight videos, targeted towards children from a child’s view. They feature a local kid talking with staff about different public works services. |

Keep Schools Safe, Stay Home When SickCheck for wellness each day before coming to school To help everyone at school stay healthy, students and staff need to be healthy when they come to school. If your student is feeling unwell, or if they or anyone in their home has symptoms of COVID-19 or other communicable diseases, they need to stay at home. Symptoms that should keep a student home include:
If your student has any of these symptoms, please keep them at home and call your school’s attendance line. If your student has been diagnosed or exposed to COVID-19, or is waiting for test results to check on COVID symptoms, please keep them home and notify our office. If your student has a chronic health condition that could look like COVID symptoms—including conditions that cause a cough or shortness of breath, such as asthma or allergies—please talk to our nurse and document it in their health history, or they may be sent home from school if they are showing these symptoms. Thank you for helping students and staff stay healthy in our school buildings. More Information: Health & Safety Protocols |
