<p>Ms. Chie Helinski shares that Japandemonium was back on May 28 after two years of hiatus. About 80 students and 20 alumni attended. </p><p>The participants, many wearing the Japandemonium T-shirt (designed by a sophomore, Mishel Gica) were randomly grouped into 10 food-themed teams. They bonded under the leadership of the AP students and competed against other teams. Japandemonium mimics a Sports Day held in Japanese schools. It was packed with activities, such as red bean bread race, tug of war, sweep the floor race, and tossing Japardy! (Japanese Jeopardy!). </p><p>We had red bean filled bread, Japanese bento lunch, and snacks to fuel ourselves. </p><p>Throughout the day, there were big smiles on all the participants' faces! <i>(photos courtesy of Ms. Helinski)</i></p>
