A group of students and adults, organized by the Pentwater Centenary Methodist Church, provided welcome back greetings to our students and staff on Tuesday, 9/7, as we returned for the 2021/2022 school year! Thank you, it's a great day to be a Falcon!
ASSE International Exchange Programs is desperately seeking Host families for roughly 13 students from several different countries. There are currently 9 male and 4 female students who need to be placed immediately or face not being placed at all this year. If this is something that you would be interested in, please contact our local ASSE Representative, Mrs. Whitney Oosting at whitney@asse.com. The eligible students and their countries are listed below:
Female: Jeanne-17 (France); Lucy-18 (Belgium); Chloe-18 (France); Julide-17 (France.
Male: Elmi-17 (Azerbaijan); Alisher-16 (Kazakhstan); Shadiyar-17 (Kazakhstan); Aktan-16 (Kyrgyzstan); Dostonbek-15 (Kyrgyzstan); Marat-17 (Kyrgyzstan); Umar-17 (Uzbekistan); Tamirlan-16 (Kazakhstan); and, Alisher-16 (Kazakhstan)
These students do need to find homes by the end of the day on Tuesday, 8/31/21. They are asking for "Welcome families". Welcome families will get the student acquainted with the school, community and teachers/staff which makes it so much easier to find a permanent placement. Welcome family placements are short term for approximately a month. Students provide their own finances and insurance so all that is needed is adequate housing and meals when with the host family.
