On
the left is the front of Futaba. You can see the English office window
on the first floor, furthest to the right. In the center is the school
seal and a big rock sign. The statue on the right is one of the artistic
touches found at Futaba. This building is on it's way out, a new one is
being build behind it.
I am the AET
at Suwa Futaba High School. The school building is very old, over 90 in
fact! There is work in progress to build a replacement facility behind the
current building. - by alison The
inside of the school is stained wood, and has a lot of charm and character.
I'm a bit sad that this building will be leveled next year when the new
school is completed, but I am happy that students got to enjoy it for so
many years! I love the wood details like the round windows and the heavy
wooden ballusters. The school is about 2 minutes from our house by foot.
It is a steep decent in the mornings, and a steep (but short) climb after
school. Futaba has an Onsen (natural hot spring) inside, and i'm sure I'll
be using that come winter time! Here is a photo of me with my English Club. We are starting the English club this year, so all the members are new. Darius took this photo after we had a meeting about Country music and studied George Strait's "All my Ex's live in Texas". Darius swung by and we gave the kids a demo of country dancing. They loved it! (We did too!!) |
