High-tech haiku Student teacher Tetsuo Asada visiting Idaho from Kobe, Japan, has linked Challis Elementary School poets to the world by publishing student haiku on the internet. An English teacher in Japan introduced the project allowing schools in several countries to share their work through the Haiku Exchange Project. At this time, there are poems from 21 classes in USA, Canada, France, Australia and Japan. The page is open to any grade level, and the purpose is to "make friends and understand the similarity and difference among us."

At this time, only third graders at Challis Elementary School have published their poetry, but Asada hopes to soon have all willing students involved. The third grade teacher Eileen Wallis commended Asada's work with students, and thanked the board for sponsoring the cultural exchange program. Wallis said she noticed how little difference there is between the poetry of an eighth grade student and a third grade student. She said the poems show how alike our children are around the world. Wallis said her students enjoyed sharing their haiku with the world.
