PG21-ARMORSummer School brings Korean, American kids together
Image by USAG-Humphreys
Approximately 50 children, mostly third through sixth graders, from Humphreys Garrison participated in a Korean-American Children’s Joint Summer School during the first two weeks of August. The purpose of the school is to enhance friendships among the Korean and American children.
The five-day schools, which were hosted by the Republic of Korea-United States Cooperation department of Pyeongtaek City and Gyeonggi Province, and supported by the Pyeongtaek Cultural Center, brought Korean and American children together to learn about each other’s cultures.
The program consisted of two sessions. The first session was from Aug. 3 to 7; with the second session running this week and concluding Saturday (Aug. 14).
During each five-day session, 25 American, and 15 Korean children from Pyeongtaek, engaged in cultural activities together. The participants attended language classes, worked in a joint chorus singing both Gukak and American songs, and made Korean food. They were also taught the choreography to a traditional Korean dance and practiced Taekwondo.
The students anticipated doing the cultural activities.
On Thursday, the students and accompanying family members visited the Gyeongbok Palace and the Insa-dong district, in Seoul. In particular, the children liked making candles that resembled fish bowls and decorating compact mirror cases and rings at the Ssamjigil Experience Village, an arts and crafts shop in Insa-dong.
While the American students experienced Korean culture, the Korean students were also exposed to some American culture. The students visited Humphreys Garrison, where they ate at the 501st Military Intelligence Brigade’s Red Dragon Inn dining facility. They also played basketball and tackled the climbing wall at MP Hill Gym.
On the last day, the children put on a dance and musical performance for their family members. The children also got to participate in an equestrian martial arts experience, where they got to put on a suit of armor, practice archery and do some horse riding. The program concluded with a graduation ceremony and a small reception.
Many of the students, Korean and American, said they enjoyed the summer school because they experienced fun activities and made new friends.

ps22chorus.blogspot.com http twitter.com Yesterday, the PS22 Chorus of 2012 joined the absolutely incredible Gym Class Heroes onstage right here on our home turf of Staten Island at Wagner College during the group’s college tour! The kids were invited to back the band up on “The Fighter” after Travie McCoy and the Heroes caught wind of the PS22 cover of the song we did back in November! The band was a dream to work with — so respectful of the kids and appreciative of their contribution! Hugest thanks go to Gym Class Heroes and their manager Scott Nagelberg for arranging the collaboration — safe to say it’s a moment in time we’ll all never forget!

Humphreys, Pyeongtaek students experience ‘fun’ at summer school

CAMP HUMPHREYS — For the second consecutive summer, American children assigned here were offered the chance to experience Korean culture firsthand, while Korean children experienced American culture – many for the first time – during the 2011 Korean-American Children’s Joint Summer School, during the first two weeks of August.
This event, sponsored by Pyeongtaek City and Gyeonggi Province and supported by the Pyeongtaek Cultural Center, was successful in 2010, so it was opened to more children this year.
About 150 students, divided into two five-day sessions, participated. That is more than twice the amount of participants compared to last year.
The program included taekwondo classes, making Korean traditional rice cakes, English class, visiting the National Museum in Seoul, touring the Hyangyo (a local Korean school during Chosun dynasty) and making Sotdae, a pole signifying prayer for a good harvest. Also, so the Korean students could see what life was like for American kids, they spent an afternoon here. First, they ate lunch at the Red Dragon Dining Facility and then got the chance to run it off over at Zoeckler Gym.
The Korean and American students took classes together. Although apprehensive on the first day, the children became friends easily later on.
Sean Carrigan, a veteran of the program, having participated in 2010 as well, said “I have friends, all boys, in my class. The only difference between American children and Korean children is the language only. Other than that, we are the same.”
Some of the programs allowed for parents to join in, especially while visiting the National Museum.
Carrigan’s grandmother, Suzanne Mese, who was visiting said, “Now I know why he loved this program. The museum was so helpful and educational for the children. And, this is a really good opportunity for American children to know how Koreans make food and live. Indeed, the dishes in the restaurant we visited were very delicious. Everything was excellent.”
Taking advantage of programs such as this will help the ever increasing population of Americans living here have more chances to make Korean friends. It is the same thing for Korean people.
Shin Hae-in, a sixth-grader at the Jang Dang Elementary School, made a good friend through this program.
“(Before) I have not had any opportunity to make an American friend,” she said. “Now, Alexa (an American girl) and I are good friends. The program is too short. I want to do this again.”
All of the students participated in a graduation ceremony on the final day, where they sang songs they learned during the week and did a taekwondo demonstration.
