A special assembly was held today to join Japanese mourning following the deadly disaster of 9 magnitude earthquake last Friday. In the tragedy, Japan lost several thousands of people, mostly by the 33 feet tsunami wave created by the quake. Financial cost of the disaster is immeasurable yet, but it is believed to be in billions of dollars.
In the assembly the students, teachers and parents observed a minute of silence in remembrance of the disaster victims. In addition the flags were set to half masts and the students and teachers wore a white ribbon on the wrist (as a sign of solidarity with Japan).
