<p>Ms. Helinski also shares that from her <strong>AP Japanese class, Phoenix Zhang</strong> is a finalist in the <strong>2019 NECTJ (Northeast Council of Teachers of Japanese) Haiku contest</strong> in the Japanese haiku division. Her haiku was inspired by her trip to Tohoku last summer. Brava, Phoenix! Here it is in English and Japanese:</p>
<p>Deep in the mountains. 山あいに</p>
<p>A rainbow arc 弧を描く虹</p>
<p>The end of the rainy season 梅雨終わる</p>
