Last weekend we gathered with our 2025-26 interns, their families, all of them, and teachers they work with to celebrate the year, and have some good food and beer. We've been doing this each year to thank our interns for the time they've spent in our community. We also do this to thank our host families.
BTW: if you can host next year, please reach out to me! I'm looking for two families to host first semester next year!
