Connecting with Students in Greeley

JASC’s JOI Coordinator, Yoko Watanabe, took a drive up to Greeley last month to teach students about Japanese culture. The highlight of the day was preparing and handing out onigiri to students along with volunteer donors from Gonigiri & Kiki’s. Japanese Casual Dining. It’s one thing to see photos of Japan, but quite another to be able to taste it! いただきます!

Japan Cup 2022

JASC hosted Japan Cup IN PERSON after a long 2-year wait! What a day it was- we had 70 Japanese language students from 5 schools. Students travelled from as far as Grand Junction to compete, have fun, and interact with other language learners. Thank you to everyone who made this day possible- generous sponsors, encouraging teachers, motivated students and dedicated volunteers!
