Matsuyama Elementary School is named after Sacramento’s sister city in Japan. We also have a sister school in Matsuyama, Japan, named Sakura Elementary School. At least a couple of times a year, we have live video chats with our friends in Japan. We sing songs together, share our talents, and what we are learning in school with each other.
