WECOME POOL PARTY A HUGE SUCCESS!

We had a great turnout for the first activity of the season.  It was awesome to see kids from all over the world having fun and enjoying one another's company.  Many thanks to Deborah Neel for hosting the party at her lovely country home, the perfect place for a summer get together!



Everyone enjoyed the food too, thanks to the cooks, Eloy and Leon, 
and all the delicious food the families brought to the celebration!

After dinner, Leon visits Deborah's horses.

Everyone's Here!!!

Nico from Germany with the Elrod Family
With the arrival of Nico on August 26, all of our area students have arrived.
We still have students who need placements so let your LC know if you have any ideas!
