Apatang himself welcomed the first group last Friday and thanked them for participating in a beach cleanup at the Sugar Dock beach in Susupe while they are here.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hope you\u2019re enjoying your stay on the island. I know you\u2026are picking up the trash and I want to thank you\u2026for that and for also caring about our environment,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Apatang, along with one of the coordinators, Judy Kim, later presented the students with certificates to thank them for participating in beach cleanups.<\/p>\n<p>According to Saipan Mayor\u2019s Office student exchange coordinator Yuki Kishimoto, they weren\u2019t able to fit the whole group into the conference room so they were split into two groups of 45 students each. The first 45 students met with Apatang last Jan. 17 and the next group will also meet with him on Jan. 23.<\/p>\n<p>According to one of the coordinators of the Asian Pacific Center of English School, Yo Hon Park, the students are currently studying English, depending on their level of English skills, at Mount Carmel School.<\/p>\n<p>Apatang encouraged the students to take lot of pictures so they can encourage their families and peers to visit the CNMI, too.<\/p>\n<p>The group is being chaperoned by seven teachers and three coordinators from the Asia Pacific Center of English School.<\/p>\n<p>KW: Asia Pacific Center of English School<br \/>\nMD: Apatang thanks Korean students for beach clean-up<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Saipan Mayor\u2019s Office was inundated last Friday by 45 students from different parts of&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":309809,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-315911","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-local-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/315911","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=315911"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/315911\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/309809"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=315911"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=315911"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=315911"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
