Sweet Corn and Sushi!

Download the Flyer

The Temecula Sister City Association raised funds and is donating copies of a bilingual book, in English and Japanese, to all schools in the district. It is called "Sweet Corn & Sushi". The "Sweet Corn& Sushi" Literacy Outreach campaign is ready to come to all schools in the district. In addition, TSCA offers a free program to elementary schools and middle schools, involving reading the book in English and parts in Japanese, providing highlights about the country and if time permits, an activity such as origami. In addition, they are holding a haiku contest as well (1st prize is a $50 Barnes and Noble certificate!)

Contact Keri Kubokawa Vogtmann at the Temecula Sister City Association by March 15th to have their volunteers come to your class. Their literacy outreach program meshes perfectly with our Read Across America program and 7th grade Social Studies curriculum (we study medieval Japan).

Please promote the haiku contest in your classroom. It would be so much fun to see what your students come up with! The deadline is April 25th Rules Entry Form

They also hold a Japanese Festival in Old Town Temecula to teach about Japanese culture & wondered if we had anyone who'd be willing to read another children's book on June 1st to small groups of kids. If your students are interested in this, please email Patty at pcasey@tvusd.k12.ca.us
