Speaking only Spanish, taking classes, exploring new ecological treasures, meeting new people, eating new foods and living with an affectionate, caring family are only a few of the highlights to this great experience. It is more than a trip. It is the opportunity of a lifetime! Please contact me if you want this opportunity for your child. ( JWoerner@smadison.k12.in.us )

6 students are enrolled and already fund-raising. Only about 30 spots remaining. Schools will be setting up evening presentations very soon. If you don’t see your school on the schedule, please contact me directly. I will be happy to go through all of the details with you individually and send you the application!

The excitement builds…

Applications have been rolling in and more are on their way for July 2008. Any eligible student is welcome to join us on this trip until we reach our max number of students (40) or until April 30th. (An eligible student is any student who will have completed Spanish II by May 2008, is in good standing at their school, will have a positive reference from their Spanish teacher and be willing to commit to 4 weeks of speaking only Spanish!) After January 1st, 2008 airfare costs and getting booked on the same flight as the group can’t be guaranteed but I’ll do everything I can to work it out for you! We have students coming from all parts of Indiana (from Gary to Lawrenceburg)!

Don’t forget to apply for your passport in January or as soon as you can! Immunizations should be started right away as well! If you have any questions or would like to be a part of such an exciting and life-changing trip, please contact me at JWoerner@smadison.k12.in.us or feel free to post your questions/comments on this site.

Congratulations to the 2007 students!!

Wow – 25 students, 2 teachers (still smiling) and thousands of remarkable photos to prove that the July 2007 program was a huge success! The students worked hard, spoke a lot of Spanish and ate a lot of rice and beans!! They came home with suitcases over 50 pounds (shh, don’t tell the airline), lots of stories and a spot in their hearts reserved only for their host families. Although many students were ready to come home for some of their favorite American foods and to see their families, they weren’t quite ready to leave the beautiful sights that they began to expect in such an amazing country. For the 2007 group (parents & students), please post your comments here and for anyone considering such an exciting adventure for their students or their own children, please read the BLOG and feel free to post any questions!
