Our annual Kurimanju fund-raiser will be held on Saturday, March 10th.  This is the school’s major fundraising event, and for many years, it has been a school tradition for SFVJLI families producing this tasty Kurimanju.  All parents are required to participate.  Preparation will start Saturday morning at 8:30 am at the Japanese American Community Center kitchen and should be done by 12:30 pm.  We’re also looking for more volunteers who can help us rolling-up Anko (bean paste) on Friday evening.  We will start this task from 6:00 pm. The more people who participate, the sooner we will finish!  We will provide pizza, and you may bring your children.  Please bring your apron and hat or bandana to cover your hair.  The Kurimanju order form is attached.  Please mark your calendars!!
