2006 Chileans to McAuley

January 2006

CPH/CJA to Cheverus & McAuley HS

Chilean students to Maine

# 1 ~ PLANNING

The planning stage has started. We have our families chosen for HOSTS and have received information on the students and teachers who will be coming from Chile to stay with us. The Exchange will last from March 17, 2006 through April 18, 2006. It's a bit different from last year, so hopefully we won't have the 20 feet of snow while they're here (yes, an exaggeration). They may even get a taste of our spring, as we did theirs.

Our McAuley HOSTS are: Joellen Nitsche, Mandy Blow, Daphne Politis, Natalie Brown, Becka Delude, Eliza Connell and Caitlin Farrar.

Below are some of the Chilean students coming to experience Maine (one photo is missing, and the final photo is the teacher):

Our families here at McAuley are getting excited to meet and know these wonderful people. I'm sure these Chileans are also very excited, as well as a bit nervous, to come here and meet their new "families". Experiences like these change lives, as we have already seen in the one short year that we have been involved in this program.
