Please mark your calendars for this year’s Open House, Thursday, July 18, 2019. At Open House, each class will perform for the audience, and their work will be on display in their classrooms. The student performances and 6th grade graduation will be held at the San Jose Betsuin Gymnasium, then the classrooms will be open at Wesley Church.

We will be pre-selling bento boxes as a fundraiser for $12, which you can pick up and enjoy before the Open House performance -- look for updates from Lauren Matheny for more information.

Here is the evening’s schedule:

• 4pm: 6th Grade Graduation at Betsuin

• 5pm-6:15pm: Bento pickup at Betsuin

• 6:30-8pm: Student performances at Betsuin

• 8pm-9pm: Refreshments and classroom tours at Wesley

• 9pm: Board meeting at Wesley, including newly elected board members

Open House is also when Suzume no Gakko holds its annual Board of Directors election. There will be four open positions on the Board: Vice President, Secretary, Historian, and IMC.

Serving on the Board is a rewarding way to stay involved and help shape the future of SNG. If you are interested in, or have questions about, serving on the SNG Board of Directors, feel free to ask any of the Board members.
