Homestays!!

Image
Hi Families! Homestays have begun! We started the morning with some engaging activities and team meetings to get in the right mind frame to begin homestays.

There was a lot of joy, anticipation, a little trepidation, and a lot excitement waiting for homestay families to arrive. Please see below the photos of your child and their homestay family.  The kids are off in homestays and many will be heading to the center square to participate in a water festival to celebrate Carnival. We will be checking in with each student, in their homestays, later this evening. Enjoy the photos!
