In December 2010, students from Morgan Hill middle schools were selected as ambassadors to go to Morgan Hill’s Sister city Mizuho-machi, Tokyo, Japan. The earthquake and tsunami disaster caused the program to be postponed until 2012.
On July 8, eight students and two chaperons left for Japan. They were completely immersed in cultural and education activities and proving themselves to be excellent ambassadors for the Morgan Hill Mizuho-machi student exchange program.
The students returned July 18, and began making thank you presentations to all the wonderful organizations that help to fund their activities and travel to Japan.
