Ten students from McKim Middle School and Selkirk Secodary School in Kimberley are currently in Japan for an amazing ten-day trip that includes stops in Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, and Hiroshima with the highlight being a special visit to Kimberley’s sister city of Annaka in Gunma prefecture.  For more photos of the trip, visit www.facebook.com/rmisp.  You can help to support this great exchange by hosting a Japanese student when a group from Annaka visits Kimberley for one week this August.  Contact Homestay Coordinator Mark Davies at 250-432-5904 or mark.davies@sd6.bc.ca for more information.
