Malabar Elementary School in L.A.’s Boyle Heights is planning a centennial celebration in September and is seeking alumni who are interested in participating or contributing to the program.
“There were a fairly large number of Japanese Americans that attended Malabar over its 100-year history,” said Jeff Hiroto, a teacher at Malabar. He added that his mom and three aunts attended the school.
