At-a-glance

Amanda talks about her recent year in Switzerland. - Aszya Summers

   After school on Wednesday, September 16th, Whitewater High School held a short International Student Reception to welcome our new exchange students to our school.  We met Denis from Russia, Zoe from Thailand, and Julia from Germany.  Each student gave a presentation about themselves, their school, and their country.  We learned that Zoe goes to school at 7:45 in the morning, but has to stay to clean up her classroom every day until 5:00 after school.  Denis showed us a video about his city, St. Petersburg, which was interesting and informative (even though the sound didn’t work until half-way through the video).  Julia taught us how to say an almost unpronounceable word in German, which translates to “squirrel”.

   Along with learning about the new students, we also learned about students from WHS who went and are going to different countries for a year.  Amanda told us about her trip to Switzerland, and Veronica told us of her coming trip to Brazil.  It seems as if the attending students had fun hearing about our exchange student’s lives, and we hope that they have an amazing year!
