AFS Host Families Needed
We are looking for host families for exchange students for the 2013-14 school year. There are many students to choose from and they are all highly recommended from their host countries. These students arrive in mid-August and will be here through the academic year, returning in June. Rocky River has a long-standing tradition of being a welcoming community to these students and we'd like to place 1-2 students at our high school this upcoming year. Interested families may contact Andrea Reynolds at reynolds.andrea@rrcs.org or Nancy Goette at nagoette@yahoo.com.
