Music: Piano and Taiko Drums Dance: Ballet, Hip Hop and Cheerleading Gymnastics: From Toddler Tumbling to Advanced Placement Youth Sports: Basketball, Outdoor Soccer, Indoor Soccer, Baseball, Flag Football and Volleyball

PURPLE UP! For Military Children

Constantly moving around and adjusting to new surroundings, new friends and sometimes even countries, military children become resilient and resolute at a young age. April is designated the Month of the Military Child to celebrate our boys and girls and the sacrifices they have made to support their Active Duty parents.

Youth Programs is dedicated to helping military children adjust to life in Misawa, with multiple activities throughout the Month of the Military Child and fun and educational programs all year long.

Every Friday in April, we ask you to Purple Up! for our military children. Purple is the official color of the Month of the Military Child because it incorporates all of the colors of the five service branches in the U.S. Military.

TANEICHI

Meet Miyuki Taneichi! Have you ever wondered who makes those concerts happen? Jabbawockeez, Rob Schneider and all the others? She and her staff at the Community Commons work day and night, month after month to bring you the entertainers and programs that keep Misawa happy. In the past three months alone she has brought three huge entertainment acts, relocated her facility from the Weasels' Den to Building 1006, our new Community Commons, and helped plan and restructure the facility to support our community.

Miyuki was born and raised in Oirase and now calls Towada home. She is the proud mother of a beautiful nine year old daughter, Takara and spends her valued time off relaxing with family, traveling to festivals and enjoying the bountiful life of northern Japan. She also volunteers as an interpreter for Misawa City and its functions.

Many new and exciting changes are coming to her facility so watch for the movie screening room and gaming area to be fully functional soon. She also will be leading the charge into American Day, Red White & Boom and Air Fest 2019 planning.

More entertainers are on the slate to include Cirque Dreams on Mother’s Day weekend. Take a few moments to thank her for over 20 years of service and for keeping Misawa entertained!
