Vive la France!

Bonjour, mes amies! As a part of the newly-formed Cape Fear Global Club, Inc, my teacher friends and I have been preparing since November for this trip. Earlier in the fall, we hosted 32 students from St. Etienne's school in France. These students stayed with us in our homes, went to school with us, and were a part of our families for two weeks. And now we are traveling to see their beautiful country. We will stay with them in their homes and become a part of their family lives for two weeks. It's been a very bumpy start with the road blocks we've encountered, but we have worked hard to build this very first venture into the world. We hope to leave behind us a legacy of lasting friendship, an adventurous spirit, and a longing to see the world unite in our lifetime.

There are 35 of us on this trip. 30 students, ranging in age from 8th to 12th grade from both Murray Middle School and Ashley High School, and 5 teachers, all from Murray Middle School. A mighty undertaking to be sure! But we've done all that we can do to prepare, and we leave in three days! Check back often for pictures and details of our trip!

A bientot!
