Imagine leaving your home and traveling all the way to another country, being away from family and friends for months. That is exactly what the new West Florence International students are doing, adding new flavor and experiences to the 2018-2019 school year. They are studying here for one year, living the American life. The International students take mostly senior level courses and electives of their choice. For most they are excited to take Journalism classes as well as courses such as art, chorus, PE, and theatre arts. Each year the International students bring some of their home countries to our students during International Education Week. They display posters, artifacts, play music, wear their native clothing and, if you are lucky, you will get to taste some of their food from home! The students do classroom presentations throughout the week as teachers will request that International students to come to their rooms. Both the students and teachers enjoy this week so very much! Being away from home takes a great deal of maturity and independence. Our International students continue to grow in many facets. They will take their experiences from West Florence back to their home country and tell all of their family and friends what a great experience this has been. Miles and miles will separate us but our bond with each other will forever remain.
