Quiet closing ceremony for teachers and locals only Chiba Takomachi March 14 20:32

The closing ceremony was held on April 14 at an elementary school in Tako-cho, Chiba Prefecture, which has been in business for over 140 years. It was a quiet ceremony.

The closing ceremony was held at Tokiwa Elementary School in Takomachi, which was founded in Meiji 7 and closes at the end of this month.

The participation of 57 children from all schools, which have been off since 2nd of this month, was forgotten, and 40 people including teachers and local people gathered.

"I was particularly lonely in March of this year, and the closing ceremony was celebrated when the children couldn't go to school," said principal Shinya Noguchi, who greeted him.

Originally, the children were supposed to perform the dances and songs that they practiced. However, only a slide showing the history of the school was shown, and the curtain closed quietly in 145 years of history.

"I am very sorry that there are no children in the lead role. I am lonely when my alma mater is gone, but I want my children to fulfill their dreams. I want to. "
