I received amazingly nice thanks-letters from Laurel School, Shaker Heights.
Last month, I went to there to have a Japanese quiz, calligraphy and tea ceremony session for 6 graders. Also, I had a lunch there with the excellent teachers. Having the great experience at Laurel School, the nice messages make me much happier.
