My name is Kyoko French. I have been teaching Japanese since 1991 at Southwest High School.  Last June, Nine students went to Japan. They did sight seeing in Osaka, Nara, Kyoto, Hiroshima, and Shimane. They visited two high schools. One is Izumo Hokuryo High School. They practiced martial arts. Another high school that we visited was Kasugaoka High School. They joined Martial Art class, English,Japanese and Math and had time to communicate with high school students. Every March, Kasugaoka High School is going to send 12 students and two teachers to Minneapolis. We enjoy their visit. There will be another trip to Japan in June for two weeks next summer also. We were able to establish many great relationships with communities and city governments for their continued support. Students who are interested in the trip should watch for details.
