This week we said farewell to our foreign exchange students and teachers from Denmark. In April, Smithfield-Selma High School students will be reunited with their Danish partners as they embark on an international voyage to their country! What an excellent way for our students to learn about diverse cultures and experience first hand the lives of others outside of our own country. At our farewell party, both the Danish and American students-about fifty total, formed a circle in the media center. They each took a turn to say one thing they learned from their experience here. It was refreshing to see the range of emotions, smiles, and laughter the students gained from each other. Hopefully this is only the beginning of a lifetime of learning and loving diversity and international affairs!
