Many of you may know that Michael and I hosted an exchange student last year. We had hoped to do so again, but Michael's job situation does not permit us that luxury this year. Because of that, there is an excellent student who could use a home. His name is Juha Nordlund. He already has a slot available to him at Dobson High (which we found out last year could be the most difficult part of finding a student). Juha is from Finland and is the student we had hoped to host this year. Thus, I would recommend him to anyone who would like the experience of learning about a new culture and enjoy having a high school student in your home who can help out and will learn to be a part of your family. Feel free to contact me, Sandra K. Fischer at my home email (uffdaskf@cableaz.com) or contact the local representative for the exchange student, Barbara Piirinen at her email - thepiirinens@cox.net. This decision would have to be made quickly (by the end of this month), but I assure you it will be worth it. Michael and I made the decision in a matter of minutes at a festival and were so pleased with the experience that we cannot wait to host another student. May you find the experience as rewarding as we did.
