Non-profit global exchange organization Council for Educational Travel USA (CETUSA) is in its high season for interviewing host families who want to share their American pride with teenagers from other countries. Families who would like to open their homes to a cross-cultural experience can host an exchange student who wishes to live with an American host family and attend an American high school for an academic semester or year.

CETUSA students will arrive in August from forty- three countries including Albania. Bolivia, Brazil, Bulgaria. Canada, the Czech Republic, China, Colombia, Ecuador, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Japan, Kazakhstan, Korea, Macedonia, Mexico, Montenegro, Norway, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, Venezuela, Vietnam, and more. Students come with their own spending money, medical insurance, and an eagerness to learn what makes our country so great.

By hosting an international student, your family members can become lifelong cultural Iearners who demonstrate open minds and hearts. Join CETUSA in working toward global understanding and peace. Please call your local Coordinator at 231 233 3268 today. Ask for Cathy Hanus.

Host families provide room and board. some local transportation and guidance. Call today and your local Coordinator will telephone or meet with your family to answer any questions you may have. The only commitment you make by calling is the commitment to learn more about this opportunity.

20-20 Reading Program

October through April 20-20 Reading Program: Jefferson Elementary is offering an "at home" supplemental reading program called "20-20." We ask each student to read at home for 20 minutes a day, 20 different days each month throughout the school year. Everyday, your son/daughter will read to a parent, sister/brother, grandma/grandpa, etc. for 20 minutes, or if you would prefer, someone may read to your child for 20 minutes. How you want to do it is up to you, as long as your child is exposed to 20 minutes of literature a night, for 20 days a month throughout the school year. What you read is up to your child and you. You may choose from children’s books, poetry, magazines, newspapers, etc. The topics of reading do not matter, just as long as he/she is reading or being read to aloud for 20 minutes a day.
