The middle school raised ¥1,031,385 of the ¥1,800,000 total funds to enable 300 Thai students continue their secondary school education. More locally, Canadian Academy students dedicated their time and efforts to community service programs such as the Kobe Charity Festival, Empty Rice Bowl project, KISS book drive, Nippon TV’s “24-Hour Television”, Soccer Match for Hope, Kobe International Exchange Fair, and the Kobe Environmental Festival. Another highlight of the 2007-2008 year is expansion of our recycling program from what had been a middle school club. Led by students from the National Honor Society (NHS), Middle School Ecology Club (MS ECO Club) and the Elementary School Leadership Club, the recycling program is now a school-wide initiative, making significant contributions to the economic and environmental health of our community. 40
