Explore Japan is a club sponsored by the Sister City Association of Tracy for all 6th and 7th graders. We’ll meet once a month from January through May of 2026 to learn some Japanese phrases, participate in interesting games and activities, and sample Japanese snacks. We may also invite some of our Sister City Youth Exchange Ambassadors to share their experiences and answer questions.
