Note from Sensei
As a Gako graduate, I am happy to return to Gako by taking over teaching the 3rd grade class from my mother Eiko Stewart who taught for 30plus years at Gako. I look forward to sharing Japanese culture with the community of Watsonville. During the school year I am a CTE Ag. Sci. with Expanded Learning at PVUSD and teach at Bradley and Calabasas Elementary Schools. See ya in June!
