Safety Workshop by SF SAFE

December 1, 2008

On Monday, December 1st, Elly from SF SAFE (San Francisco Safety Awareness for Everyone) presented a personal safety class. We learned what to do when approached by strangers, how to ride the bus safely, and most important to be aware of our surroundings.

Yoshi's Jazz Club and Restaurant

October 22, 2008

On, Tuesday, October 22nd, the students at Xperience! went on a field trip to Yoshi’s Jazz Club and Restaurant at the Fillmore Heritage Center. General Manager Andrew Generalao gave the students a behind the scene tour of the club, restaurant and kitchen.

The highlight of the tour was the opportunity to interview Yoshi Akiba, one the co-owners of Yoshi’s. She shared stories of her very exciting life. The students are writing about the day’s experience for our “My Japantown” book and excerpts will be added to our website in the near future.

After snacking on edamame and Yoshi’s famous “cracker jacks”, we walked back to Xperience! with a spring in our step, and proudly wearing our Yoshi’s visors.  View more photos of Yoshi's Field Trip

Meeting with Oakland A's Kurt Suzuki

May 28, 2008

Our last guest speaker also turned out to be our first field trip to conduct an interview.

The Oakland A’s invited us to interview Kurt in the dugout during practice on May 28th before the Toronto Blue Jays game, and provided us with tickets to watch the game. We found out that Kurt is a self motivated player with a love for the game and his family. He also very generously signed autographs for all of us.

Kurt Suzuki is currently only one of two Japanese American players (Dave Roberts, SF Giants) in Major League Baseball.
