全校集会（表彰）与 早晨的学生会活动
今天早晨，学生会执行部依然在校舍入口处开展了未使用明信片的回收活动。
同学们一边向登校的同学打招呼，一边认真推进工作。
这种每天坚持的行动，正是在悄悄营造学校温暖氛围的一部分。
星期二是全校集会日。
今天因为有表彰环节，我们在体育馆举行。
获得表彰的同学们所付出的努力，值得大家送上掌声。
校长首先从季节谈起。
1月20日是二十四节气的“大寒”，2月4日是“立春”。
日历上春天即将开始，但现实中寒冷还会持续。
因此更要重视睡眠、早餐、洗手等基本生活习惯，尤其是升学安排接连不断的三年级同学，要尽量避免勉强，调整好身体状态。
接着，校长分享了自己30年前在海外旅行时的经历。
在陌生的地方吃早餐时，旁边的一位当地人察觉到他们的困惑，主动用日语搭话，并在窗口帮忙购买前往下一站的巴士车票。
对方并非受托，而是自然而然地伸出援手。
正因为那份亲切，旅途得以安心继续。
校长说，比起景点或美食，“那里的人很温柔”这样的记忆，往往会最深刻地留下。
随后，话题回到北稜中的日常。
北稜中也有许多来自海外的伙伴。
他们可能会因为语言不熟练、规则不太了解、文化不同而感到不安。
这时，周围人的态度与做法，会决定对方能否把学校当作“安心的地方”。
所以，希望大家做到：看到有人为难就主动搭话；不明白就一起去问老师。
相反地，不要取笑、不要把别人当作话题或梗，更不要模仿别人的说话方式或行动。
如果换作自己在异国被这样对待，会是什么感受呢——希望大家能站在对方立场去想一想。
最后，校长谈到“强大”的含义。
强大并不在于武力或声音大，而在于能否对他人温柔，能否向需要帮助的人伸出手。
北稜中的“强大”，也不是争强好胜，而是不会丢下有困难的人、让每个人都能安心生活的学校。
寒冷的季节容易让身心都紧绷，因此更要对身边的人多一份温柔。
此外，生徒指导主事也就学校规则进行了说明。
为了让每个人都能舒适、安全地度过校园生活，我们希望大家再次确认日常行为与规则，共同建设更好的北稜中。

School Assembly (Awards) and a Morning Student Council Activity
This morning, the Student Council executive members were once again at the school entrance collecting unused postcards.
They greeted students as they arrived and carried out the work steadily.
This kind of consistent effort, day by day, helps create a warm and welcoming atmosphere at school.
Tuesday is our school-wide assembly day.
Today, because we had an awards presentation, the assembly was held in the gymnasium.
We would like to congratulate all students who received awards and recognize the effort behind their achievements.
The principal began with a seasonal note.
January 20 marked “Daikan” (the coldest period in the traditional calendar), and February 4 will be “Risshun,” the beginning of spring on the calendar.
Even so, the cold weather will likely continue for a while.
That is why it is important to take care of the basics—enough sleep, breakfast, and handwashing.
In particular, Grade 9 students have many schedule demands related to their future pathways, so they were encouraged to avoid overdoing it and to manage their health carefully.
The principal then shared a personal episode from 30 years ago while traveling abroad with his mother.
At breakfast in an unfamiliar place, a local man sitting nearby noticed they were unsure and kindly spoke to them in Japanese.
Without being asked, he even helped them purchase a bus ticket to their next destination.
That simple act of kindness brought real relief and made it possible to continue the trip with peace of mind.
The principal noted that, more than tourist spots or food, what often remains most strongly is the memory that “people were kind.”
From there, the message connected back to daily life at Hokuryo Junior High School.
We also have many classmates who have come from other countries.
They may struggle with language, school rules, or cultural differences.
How we respond in those moments can determine whether they feel this school is a safe and reassuring place.
What we can do is not difficult: if someone seems to be struggling, speak to them; if something is unclear, go together and ask a teacher.
At the same time, we must not tease, laugh at, or turn someone into a topic, and we must not imitate the way they speak or act.
Students were encouraged to think: if you were in another country and treated that way, how would you feel?
The principal concluded with a reflection on what it means to be “strong.”
Strength is not about weapons or being loud.
True strength is shown in how kindly we treat others and how readily we reach out to those who are struggling.
The same applies to our school: a strong school is not one that wins arguments, but one that does not abandon anyone and allows everyone to feel safe.
Because cold seasons can make it harder to keep emotional space, the principal asked everyone to be especially kind to the people right in front of them.
In addition, the student guidance teacher spoke about school rules.
To ensure a safe and comfortable school life for everyone, we encourage all students to review the rules and reflect on daily behavior as we continue building a positive school environment together.
