Osaka, Japan, to Elk Grove, California

 

The Elk Grove School District hosted 6 students and 1 chaperone in Northern California from July 15-26, 2009.  They all participated in a very productive program that included language, culture, and traditional art classes as well as outings and varied activities with their host families.  They attended daily classes at the schools, where they learned American history, English language, and participated in various other activities.  During the weekends they went on day trips to various places, including San Francisco and Sacramento, where they had an official reception at the State Capitol.
