WELCOME TO THE CR KENNEDY JAPANESE SITE
The Kennedy Japanese Program is a four year program in which students have an opportunity to learn how to speak as well as read and write in Japanese. There are a number of exciting things about the program I would like to mention here.


 * Sister school program--Kennedy has a sister school relationship with Narita Kokusai High School, about one hour outside of Tokyo. Every other year juniors and seniors in Japanese are eligible to visit the school as we tour Japan. On alternating years, students from Narita come to visit Cedar Rapids.
 * Japanese exchange students at Kennedy. Every year we have two students[[image:kenn_narita.jpg width="276" height="276" align="right"]] from Japan visit Kennedy. They stay with a Kennedy family and assist n Japanese classes--usually third and fourth year classes.
 * Japanese Club. At the Kennedy Japanese club we have an opportunity to further explore Japanese culture. Student officers run the club, so the activities depend largely on what members and officers choose to do. Previous activities include //anime origami,// food making (and eating), J-pop, J-fashion, calligraphy and many other interesting topic Club meets on the Japanese classroom once a week
