Our Guests from China Have Arrived!
Our guests from China arrived late on Saturday afternoon:
11 students (in grades 4-6) with 5 adults.
We were delighted to welcome back Mr. Du (Shaowei), with his wife and son on this trip. Earlier, Mr. Du had taught at Daisy for 4 months and lived with Ginny and Ed White during that time.
The adult guests include two translators and the Assistant Superintendent for the School District, Mr. Wang. (left). Here, the group enjoys discussion with our Superintendent, Pat Ciccone, over a supper of pizza.
Our guests were introduced to their host families and we found online translation apps to be very useful.
