ISR at the Kirschblütenfest

Yesterday, the Cherry Blossom Festival took place in Meerbusch-Büderich, organized by the city of Meerbusch as well as by the Friends of the Meerbusch-Shijonawate Sister Cities Association – and it was a great success!

The festival symbolizes the close connection between the two twin cities as well as of Japan and Germany and for this reason, it was a great pleasure for us to participate in the event with our Japanese teacher, parts of the management team and some ISR families to celebrate the German-Japanese friendship. We were in addition represented by our popular ISR school bus and two of our dedicated students who offered face painting as well as children’s glitter stickers for the skin. Moreover, we took our VR glasses with us that we use in our classrooms, and the children had great fun using them.

Furthermore, one talented ISR family performed an amazing piece of music on stage and represented ISR in an excellent way. We would like to sincerely thank the Yokota family for their incredible performance, as well as our students for their involvement – the children were extremely happy and had great fun! Moreover, we would like to thank the organizers for another wonderful Cherry Blossom Festival and for the opportunity to get in touch with so many interested families.

We’re looking forward to another celebration in 2023!
