this is a posting i picked up from japan-guide.com
topic thread in response to someone's query
Here is some history on the school:
Soon after World War II, kindergartens were founded in Yokohama and Kitami (Tokyo) in order to spread Catholic education. Then, in 1955, they were approached by an officer from the US military forces stationed in Japan and were requested to open kindergartens to give Catholic based education to American children in English. In response, first the Yokohama Sancta Maria International Kindergarten was founded. This is the beginning leading to the current Santa Maria School.
Based on the principles following from the original mission of “offering help to people in difficulties,” Sisters have worked hard over the years in the spirit of service. Unlike other international schools in Japan which charge expensive fee for their education, Sisters did all they can to offer high level education at tuition as low as possible in order to educate children in need of English education. The years of commitment and service by the Sisters at Santa Maria School will be 50 years next year, on February 9, 1959 when Santa Maria School in Nerima was founded.

Kanna,
First of all, I need to apologize that I've realized some excess spaces
within the above addresses, which I didn't notice before. It didn't
turn BLUE because it's invalid. I did not edit them myself, so it must
have been that way from the beginning.
Anyway, I tried it myself without the spaces, but got the error messages
as well, and found out that they are hearing the same claims, and are
quite aware that something is wrong with the address.
They are now trying to remedy the situation.
In the meantime, you could simply access to
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/santamariafamily/ and see if you can find
any links there to register yourself. Since my email address is registered
there already, I can't explain how it works when accessed for the first time.
JFYI, followings are the addresses I've copied from their page today,
and we know that the 2nd one doesn't work.

The email address DOES work for me, I sent my lunch order to that address the day before and got a response from Sophie Ishida, the co-chair, yesterday.
I wonder what is wrong, but I think the best bet would be, since you have registered with the Santa Maria Yahoo Group, to post a message there. All messages there will to sent immediately to a member of the 50th Anniversary team.
Just lick "Post" under Messages in the lefthand column, and the message box will appear. After writing what you need to say, press "Send" at the bottom.

I've uploaded some of the pics I took at the Homecoming.
Everyone is welcome to take a look.
Many of them are photos of "photos"... of the old sisters who have passed away and I dearly miss...
I'm just thankful to be able to see Sr. Mary Ann and Sr. Carmen.

Hectic, thanks for uploading those pics
i was taught by Sr.Mary Agnes, went to excursion
trip with Sr.Louise, and Sr.Verionica was my 1st
teacher in grade 1. Never knew them so old though...
wonder how many of them are still around ?
did they all teach in Tokyo after Yokohama
got closed down?

All of the pics came from the display of teachers at Santa Maria Nerima, so they taught there, too. Sister Mary Rose should have been in there, too. Maybe they couldn't find a picture of her.
It seems that a lot of the sisters went back and forth between the two schools and others, such as Japanese kindergartens in Tokyo, Osaka, etc., based on assignments from the higher-ups.
Sr. Mary Agnes was principal of the school in the late 1970s through 1985. I ran into her at the old Goto Planetarium in Shibuya once in the 1970s. She was leading a group of Nerima students on an excursion to the planetarium. She was the one who recognized me and called me first by my name. That was the very last time I saw her...

Hectic, thanks for all the info.
I just happen to open the files of the santamariafamily
on yahoo and found out that tomorrow is the deadline
for ordering the commemorative hoodies.
I filled out the order form, attached the copy to email
and sent it to santa_maria_50th_aniv@yahoo.com.
Hope I did it right
The payments seems to be due tomorrow as well.
