新老学生会的晨间问候与初一年级集会 理科研究表彰・迎接合唱比赛
今天早上，新老学生会的成员们依然并肩站在底层架空大厅，向大家道声早安。从学长学姐到学弟学妹，每天早晨的点滴坚持，正在稳稳地传承下去。
随后，初一年级举行了年级晨会。首先，对在理科研究发表会上发表研究成果的4名初一同学进行了表彰。其中有用多种植物比较纳豆菌发酵所需条件的实验等，每一项研究都源于身边的小小疑问。全年级同学一起为伙伴们的努力送上了祝贺。
接着是年级老师的讲话。老师以"最近有没有让你感动的事？"开场，讲到人心其实很容易被打动。比如，全年级同学一个不缺地坐在这里——仅仅这一点，对老师来说就是一种感动。
话题随即转向即将到来的合唱比赛。声部整齐、歌声优美当然重要；但最能打动人心的，是大家张大嘴巴、全力以赴歌唱的样子。
老师还分享了自己初中时代的回忆。那时放学后的练习时间不像现在这样固定，练习总是凑不齐人，一直很努力的声部长有一天忍不住哭了。于是班上的同学们挨个去叫人，一起练习的伙伴渐渐多了起来。比起比赛的结果，那一幕至今仍留在老师心里。倾注了多少热情，会让今后的人生更加丰富——这句话直率地传递给了正在为合唱努力的初一同学们。
各委员会也发布了通知。信息委员会以"北棱网络素养"为题讲解了著作权：除了擅自使用他人的插图和照片，下载被擅自转载的视频同样属于侵犯著作权，提醒大家多加注意。生活委员会请大家确认走廊行走方式、言语措辞、名牌佩戴和问候礼仪。保健委员会则以本月主题"爱护眼睛"呼吁大家：避免在昏暗处看书、长时间盯着屏幕，有意识地让眼睛休息。
最后，年级委员长介绍了本月目标"最强团队"。目标中寄托着这样的心愿：希望通过运动会和合唱比赛，让班级和年级朝着同一个目标一路奔跑。委员长还提到每天早上7点45分左右开始的晨练，用自己的话对同学们说："我觉得早到的人，做什么事都能努力。"失败的时候就转换心情、迈向下一步——这句话也令人印象深刻。关于期中考试，大家也确认了：不只看结果，也要重视准备的过程，考完之后的复习同样要坚持下去。
距离合唱比赛只剩下不多的时间了。倾听身边伙伴的声音，各班的歌声会如何成长呢？我们非常期待正式演出的那一天。

Morning Greetings from the Old and New Student Councils, and the Year 7 Assembly: Science Awards and Choir Competition Preparations
Once again this morning, members of the old and new Student Councils stood side by side in the pilotis area, greeting everyone as they arrived. It was lovely to see this daily habit being handed down carefully from older pupils to younger ones.
Afterwards, Year 7 held their year-group assembly. It opened with awards for four Year 7 pupils who presented their work at the Science Research Presentation. Their projects, including an experiment comparing the conditions natto bacteria need to ferment using a range of plants, all grew out of everyday curiosity. The whole year group joined in congratulating their classmates on their hard work.
Next came a talk from one of the Year 7 teachers. She began by asking, "Has anything moved you recently?" and went on to say that people's hearts are often moved by surprisingly simple things. Seeing every single pupil in the year group present, with no one absent, is one of those things for her.
The talk then turned to the upcoming Choir Competition. Beautiful, well-balanced parts certainly matter, but what moves an audience most, she said, is seeing everyone sing their hearts out, mouths wide open.
She also shared a memory from her own junior high school days. Back then, there was no set after-school practice time as there is now, and it was hard to get everyone together. One day, the part leader who had been working so hard broke down in tears. Classmates then went round to call on others, and gradually more and more joined in. More than the final result, it is that moment that has stayed with her. How much passion you pour into something is what makes life richer — a message that reached the Year 7 pupils directly as they prepare to sing.
The committees also shared their announcements. The Information Committee spoke on copyright as part of "Hokuryō Net Morals", reminding everyone that downloading videos that have been uploaded without permission is a copyright infringement, just as using other people's illustrations or photos without permission is. The Student Life Committee asked everyone to check how they walk in the corridors, their language, their name badges and their greetings. The Health Committee introduced this month's theme, "Caring for Your Eyes", encouraging everyone to avoid reading in dim light or staring at screens for long periods, and to make a point of resting their eyes.
Finally, the year group's committee chair spoke about this month's goal, "The Best Team". It reflects a hope that, through Sports Day and the Choir Competition, each class and the whole year group will keep running together towards a shared goal. Mentioning the morning practices that start at around 7:45, the chair spoke to classmates in their own words: "I think people who come early are people who can give their best at anything." Another memorable message was that when things go wrong, you switch your mindset and move on to the next thing. Looking ahead to the mid-term tests, the year group also agreed on the importance of valuing not just results but the preparation itself, and of carrying on with revision after the tests are over.
There is very little time left before the Choir Competition. As the pupils listen to the voices of the classmates beside them, we wonder how each class's singing will grow. We are very much looking forward to the day itself.
