Anna Wong

Anna Wong's kindergarten class is part of the Chinese Bicultural Program.

Anna Wong grew up in San Francisco Chinatown. She remembers fondly marching each year in the Chinese New Year parade, seeing movies about the monkey king and her parents' treating her to a comic book after the movies.

Mrs. Wong has been teaching kindergarten in the Chinese Bicultural Program since 1980. Her four children all attended Jefferson's bicultural program as well, and they are in a band called Nine Pound Shadow.

After a day of teaching, Mrs. Wong goes home to drum. She also likes to quilt, sculpt, create mosaics, bead, and knit. In addition to art, she enjoys walking, reading, going out to eat, and seeing movies and live performances.
