Rotary Club Youth Exchange (NEW)
What is the Rotary Youth Exchange:
The Rotary Youth Exchange is a short-term exchange. For some of the CHSD 117 students who participated last year, they went abroad and lived with a host family for about 3 weeks. This fall, the host partners came and stayed with the families and came to school for about 3 weeks. The Rotary Youth Exchange has a long-standing relationship with D117 and Rotary is an international organization that does a lot of outreach around the world for various causes, one large cause is bringing polio vaccines to parts of the world that need it.
What do I do if I want to learn more about it?
The best thing to do is to attend the parent meeting on December 9th. Here is a video (2 min long).
