A Special Note: Working through CETUSA, Casey Barnett and Althea Brown are welcoming exchange students for this school year. Casey says:
"My student is a 16-year-old girl from China. Her American nickname is Angelina and she and her family like to go skiing and horseback riding in the mountains. She’ll be a junior at Yukon High School and will be attending for the whole year. Angelina wants to write a book about her experience as a foreign exchange student.
"Althea’s student is a 16-year-old male, Victor, from Spain. He’ll also be a junior and attending HS for the whole year. He likes video games, soccer and football. He wants to be in the Spanish Navy like his father."
The Robertson Activity Center is at 1200 Lakeshore Drive, phone number 350-7680, open Monday through Friday except for holidays.
