On Friday, October 17, under a brilliant autumn sky, the 77th Hokuryō Junior High School Sports Festival was held in grand style.
Although it’s already mid-October, the weather felt more like summer — a warm, energetic day perfect for competition, with students running and cheering in the sun.

The Opening Ceremony began with a dynamic marching performance accompanied by the school brass band, captivating the audience.
Following speeches from the Principal and PTA President, the athletes’ oath was delivered with confidence, setting the stage for an exciting day of events.

Throughout the festival, not only the competitors but also the students cheering from the sidelines gave their all.
Nearly the entire school stood along the ropes, shouting and clapping in full voice — a vivid display of team spirit and unity that defines Hokuryō.

The final events wrapped up at 4:00 p.m., bringing the day to a moving finale filled with applause, smiles, and a few happy tears.
Congratulations to the winning classes on their well-deserved victories!
But more importantly, the day’s true stars were not just the winners —
every student who ran, supported, and cheered with all their heart shone brightly.

We extend our sincere gratitude to all guests and parents for your warm encouragement,
and a special thanks to the PTA officers and event committee members for your hard work behind the scenes from early morning.
