毕业典礼前一天 ── 三年级最后的早晨，与二年级重新思考"普通"的年级集会
今天是毕业典礼的前一天。早晨上学时间，三年级的同学们和一、二年级一起走进校门——这样的风景，今天是最后一次了。第二、三节课将举行毕业典礼的预演，希望大家认真确认明天正式典礼的流程。
操场上举行了二年级的年级集会。在3月11日这个特别的日子里，同学们重新回望东日本大地震，一起思考"什么是普通"。
本周负责讲话的老师，结合自己大学时期的亲身经历，讲述了2011年3月11日发生的大地震和海啸。当时还不像现在这样，可以通过智能手机即时获取信息，地震的规模和灾害的严重程度并不能马上感受到。直到回家后，看到电视上反复播放的海啸画面，才第一次真切地感到"发生了一件不得了的事情"。
随后，老师介绍了一则在灾区进行牛肉饭赈灾的报道。接受采访的一位老人说："我这辈子第一次吃牛肉饭""没想到这么好吃。"这句话至今仍深深留在老师的心中。
我们常常不自觉地认为，自己觉得理所当然的事情，对所有人来说也是理所当然的。然而老师通过这个故事，向同学们真诚地传达了一个道理——"对自己来说的'普通'，对别人来说未必如此。" 文化的差异、成长环境的不同、感受方式的区别……集体生活中存在着各种各样的"普通"。不以自己的标准去评判他人，接纳对方的"普通"，也不把自己的"普通"强加于人。同学们安静地聆听着，似乎都在认真地思考。
二年级的学校生活，转眼只剩下大约一年的时间。希望今天的讲话能成为一个契机，让78届的同学们在今后的每一天里，互相尊重，共同营造一个更加温暖的年级和学校。明天就是毕业典礼了，我们希望全校师生一起，为三年级的同学们送上最美好的祝福。也恳请各位家长和社区居民继续给予温暖的关注与支持。

The Day Before Graduation ── A Final Morning for Third-Years and a Year Assembly Where Second-Years Reflected on What "Normal" Means
Today is the day before the graduation ceremony. This morning, third-year students walked through the school gates alongside first- and second-years for the very last time. The graduation rehearsal is scheduled for the second and third periods, and we hope everyone will take the opportunity to prepare thoroughly for tomorrow's ceremony.
Out on the school grounds, the second-year students gathered for their year assembly. With March 11th upon us once again, it was a time to look back on the Great East Japan Earthquake and reflect together on what "normal" really means.
This week's speaker shared his own experience as a university student when the massive earthquake and tsunami struck on March 11, 2011. Unlike today, smartphones were not yet widespread, and the true scale of the disaster was not immediately apparent. It was only after returning home and watching the tsunami footage broadcast repeatedly on television that he first felt the full weight of what had happened.
The teacher then introduced a news story about a beef bowl relief effort in the disaster-affected area. An elderly person being interviewed had said, "This is the first time in my life I've ever eaten a beef bowl" and "I had no idea something could taste this good." Those words, the teacher shared, have stayed with him ever since.
We tend to assume that what feels ordinary to us must be ordinary for everyone. Through this story, however, the teacher conveyed a heartfelt message to the students: "What is 'normal' for you may not be 'normal' for someone else." Differences in culture, upbringing, and perspective mean that many versions of "normal" coexist within any community. Rather than judging others by our own standards, we can choose to accept what is normal for them and refrain from imposing our own sense of normal on others. The students listened quietly, each seemingly deep in thought.
With roughly one year remaining in their time as second-years, we hope that today's message will inspire the 78th class to respect one another and build an even warmer year group and school community in the days ahead. Tomorrow is graduation day, and we look forward to the whole school coming together to give our third-years a wonderful send-off. We are grateful to parents and community members for your continued warm support.
