Ōani Elementary School closed on March 31st, 2023. It merged with Aniai Elementary School and Ani Junior High School into Compulsory Education School Ani Gakuen (義務教育学校阿仁学園), a combined, nine-year compulsory education school, which opened its doors on April 1st, 2023. In the inaugural year of Ani Gakuen's operations, the Ōani ES building was repurposed as the Ani Gakuen Primary-curriculum Building (前期課程校舎, Zenki Katei Kōsha; i.e. the elementary school-level building). The Ani JHS building was repurposed as the Secondary-curriculum Building (後期課程校舎, Kōki Katei Kōsha; i.e. the junior high school-level building). The two levels combined in actuality on April 1st, 2024 using the old Aniai ES building after a year of renovations; at which point the Ōani ES building closed for good.

鈴木　英雄（すずき　ひでお）　作詞
達子　健多（たつこ　けんた）　作曲

一、

みんな　みんな集まれ

お山に登ろう

太平山に登ろう

母さんのような　森吉山に

だかれて　ぼくらの

学校が見える

二、

杉の子　ふきの子

お山の　わらび

みんなそろって

すくすく　のびよう

雨にも　雪にも

負けずに　のびよう

三、

みんな　みんな　集まれ

手と手をつなごう

元気に歌おう

父さんのような　阿仁川が

やさしく　ぼくらに

歌声合わす

朝夕に仰ぐ雄姿を　そのままに

清くけだかく　明るく育ち

日本のさかえを　にないゆく

のぞみ輝く

わがまなびやよ
