The latest chapter of the Fairview-Cholet Exchange was a huge success! 26 students and three teachers from the Renaudeau High School spent two weeks living with Fairview families. From the moment the students were reunited after the June portion of the program, to the excursions to Niagara Falls, Pittsburgh and Cleveland, to the moments spent in classes, to the various activities arranged by host families, to the farewell dinner and the teary-eyed goodbyes on October 23, this will go down as one for the books. We look forward to hearing about the students staying in touch and perhaps even getting together again. À la prochaine!
