Japanese Visitors Spend the Day at Beauvoir

On Tuesday, November 2nd, twenty visitors from Japan spent the day at Beauvoir. The visitors are teachers from two cities in Japan, Toyama and Ishikawa. They spent time in classrooms at every grade level, they participated in music, computer and PE classes. They were also able to observe students take part in the election process. Everyone learned a lot, our students learned about the Japanese culture and the delegation from Japan found out plenty about education in the USA. As we say in Mississippi, "Ya'll come back and see us again!"
