Participation by each school can change from year to year, and not all schools participate in all of the categories.

Hi Brian,

Could you add the Canadian International School to the list. I can’t wait for my students to read the fantastic books that were selected.

Cheers,
Brendan

The Sakura Medal program started in 2005-2006.
I don’t know the other category winners, because at St. Mary’s I only participated in the middle school books category, but the 2006 MS winner was Arkangel by Anthony Horowitz.

I am a teacher at Tokyo Korean School.

We saw a great display at ASIJ when we visited the elementary library earlier this year,

We have 600 students learning english using an immersion system.

We have an English library with 6,000 titles available to the kids.

We’d like to be added to the participating schools.

If you have , can you send me the list for picture books and chapter books with ISBNs. I would be most grateful.

Yours faithfully,
Mr James Stacey
Tokyo Korean School

Thanks for nominating “The Book That Eats People” for the Sakura Medal. It’s wonderful to see kids being eaten in Japan (and enjoying it)!

Happy reading!

Hi John,

We have a bit of a group of librarians set up that organizes the Sakura Medal amongst other things. If you’d like to be added to our listserv and receive information about our meetings (next one is May 13 at St. Mary’s in Tokyo), please send me an email: farrellb {at} yis.ac.jp. I’m sure we’d love to have you host one of our meetings in Okinawa!

Thanks,

Brian
