LGHS JAPANESE PROGRAM 20THE ANNIVERSARY
Learning Japanese opens many doors for the students
Good morning, Wild Cats,
We hosted our LGHS Japanese Program 20th Anniversary Film Festival on Jan 8, 2022. Thank you so much for your support and especially those who were able to join us. In addition to the Kimono booth and Japanese book sale, we had several student clubs and craft vendors participate.
We opened the event with Ann Jordan sensei's speech and enjoyed learning about the 20 years of history about the program with a trivia game. During the alumni panel discussion, Daniel Hayashi (2005) joined from Tokyo, Japan and Brandan Nystedt (2005) joined from Seattle virtually, while Allison Sugahara (2005) and Katie Winkleman (2017) were in person.
We had a lot of fun spending a day as a community. All the proceeds will be donated to the charity Silicon Valley Strong.
