Elementary school principal's message to the graduating students: we retrieved your certificates of graduation

(By Ms. Mieko Onodera, Principal at Otsuchi Elementary School, at the Shiroyama Gymnastic Hall & Central Community Center,  Kamihei-gun, Otsuchi-cho, Iwate Pref.)  

(To the students at Otsuchi Elememtary School) 
I  hope everyone at the evacuation center are well. We managed to retrieve the certificates of graduation, and I’d like to deliver them to the sixth graders. We decided to hold the graduation ceremony at the Central Community Center on March 29, 2011. The ceremony will start at 1 PM.  I heard that other schools would start at 10 AM, but ours will be at 1PM considering the time to get there. Whoever will be able to come, please come to the ceremony.
