Superior Students Return from Sister City

12 Students traveled to Ami Machi, Japan.

12 students from Superior got the trip of a lifetime this summer, as they visited Superior’s sister city Ami Machi, Japan…

The students stayed with host families in Japan, learning about everyday life. Some of those lessons students plan to implement back home.

“I want to bring back some of the friendliness and hospitality. I want people to be friendly to outsiders and welcome them,” said Gabe Kroeplin, one of the participants.

The students and adults that went on the trip also had another mission, items at the Richard I. Bong Center were found to belong to a Japanese soldier. They were able to contact his surviving son and return the items during a ceremony.
