夏季休業をおえて８月２６日（月）始業式が本校体育館において行われました。
校長講話では生徒にむけて次のようなお話がありました。
「２兎を追う者は１兎をも得ず」ということわざがあるが、２学期には３兎を追ってほしい。３兎は、学業、生徒会活動、家庭・地域活動であること、それらを同時に捕まえろということではなく、実行（＝追いかける）する時・場面を切り替えて取り組んでほしい。
引き続き夏季休業中の各種大会におけるそば部の実績報告が行われ、全校生徒は栄誉を称えました。この栄誉も兎を必死で追いかけた結果かもしれません。
夏の終わりをまだ見せない今日、３兎を追いかける２学期がはじまりました。
On Monday, August 26th, we had the first school assembly of the 2nd semester in the gym. In his speech, the principal said:
“There is a proverb: ‘A person who chases two rabbits will catch none.’ However, in the second semester, I want you to chase THREE rabbits. The three rabbits are: studying, classroom and student council activities, and family and community activities. I am not asking you to catch all of them at the same time, but I do want you to CHASE them, that is, to actively pursue them at a different time.”
After the speech, students heard a report about the Soba Club’s achievements in two summer competitions, and everyone celebrated their success. Maybe this honor also came because they chased their rabbits with all their efforts.
Now, with summer not yet over, the second semester has begun—the semester to chase three rabbits.
