She also conveyed her appreciation for the JBBP teachers, staff and community for their devoted efforts to teach Japanese language and culture to their students.
San Francisco’s JBBP began in 1973 with an original goal of preserving Japanese language and cultural education for the city’s Japanese American community and has since evolved to serve a diverse student body reflective of the current community.
