| We are very pleased to be able to participate in Rotarys
Foreign Exchange program. Under the guidance of Jeff Masters
we host at least one student every year and in most years
are able to send a student overseas.
Students are selected by a committee based on their abilities
and accomplishments. The program is for the entire school
year.
As hosts for incoming students, we are always looking for
families that are willing to take the student in for a
minimum of 3 months. Students attend classes at Rush-Henrietta
and participate in normal school activities. In addition,
there are a number of Rotary activities planned for them
and, of course, they attend our club meetings whenever
feasible.
Some of the students who have participated in this program include:
- 10-11
- Danny Gaytán, our current exchange student, is from Tepic, Mexico.
While in the USA she wants to enjoy winter sports that are not available in Mexico
like ice skating and snow skiing. Her brother Roberto was an exchange student to Australia last year.
