PORT ANGELES — Students from Port Angeles and sister city Mutsu City, Japan, will celebrate 20 years of the exchange program by sharing the unique qualities of their home towns.
The students are expected to gather in the Port Angeles City Hall, 321 E. Fifth St., from 3:20 p.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday.
They will create a joint statement celebrating the qualities of both cities, said Tina Smith-O’Hara, Port Angeles School District spokeswoman.
Stevens Middle School teacher Rob Edwards and Amy Miller-Yamamichi — a former Seattle resident who works in Mutsu City and travels with the delegation each year — will lead a student discussion expected to lead to a joint statement between Mutsu City and Port Angeles.
Students will show slideshows about their home towns and offer suggestions for improving them.
Their final agreement is expected to vow to continue to strengthen bonds between the two cities.
