Marina-sensei's (a bit early) goodbye party

Last Saturday night NEO held a party to thank Marina-sensei for working here at NEO.

For those of you that don’t know, Marina will be leaving NEO and moving out of Okayama. Her last day working at NEO will be next Wednesday, the 29th of May.

After regular classes finished last Saturday evening, we had an outdoor potluck party on NEO property. A lot of students turned up with a lot of delicious food, there was everything from pizza to chicken to burritos to homemade cheesecake. It was all great.

Marina was able to chat with current and former adult and child students and many of them were sad to know that she is leaving so soon.

There was a fantastic sunset, and the temperature was simply perfect for spending a nice evening outside before the humidity and mosquitoes arrive for the summer.

Nick and Risa were the party’s DJs, and some of the kids were quite happy to show off their dance moves.

Marina-sensei will still be here for a few more days, so please make sure to say farewell and good luck to her!
