My name is Ui Cher, and I will be the TIPS Student Council Publicist for this newsletter. I am looking forward to sharing student council news with you this year.
On the afternoon of September 20th, at Kinutama Asobi Mura, we are having a barbeque event where lunch items will be sold and outdoor games will be hosted. Outdoor games that may (potentially) be included are Soccer, Basketball, Frisbee, Dodgeball, Volleyball, Water Gun fights.
We are rolling a dice and if it hits a number between 1 and 6, hotdogs and grilled cheese are on the menu for the event. If it hits an even number, we are having deserts as well, like s’mores and cups of whipped cream (and only whipped cream, with the number 6 resulting in chocolate sauce being available).
You might like to give your child spare clothes in case they get wet (if they know they will be involved in the water gun fight). If your child would like to eat the premium (disputed) grilled items, we will announce a date to preorder the lunch items with yen.
