13 Exchange Students to Visit Local Schools
Thirteen students from the former Soviet Union will visit McKinna and Brekke elementary schools Monday.
The visit will be the first stop in the United States for the students who come from Armenia, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Ukraine, Tajikistan, Russia and Georgia.
The visit is sponsored by Cultural Homestay International, a nonprofit student exchange program.
The exchange students will spend one month in the Los Angeles area before departing Aug. 15 to attend high schools all over the United States for the next year.
Each student will be “adopted” by a classroom at McKinna school.
