Mystery Dinner Train Hood River Oregon

On October 17th Washington North and South with Oregon APA's embarked on an exciting adventure with our Program Director Jackie Sant-Myerhoff to show all of our wonderful Academic Coordinators our appreciation for all their hard work and dedication to our students, families and schools. This was in Mt. Hood, Oregon.We enjoyed a wonderful meal and the performance of a murder mystery on the train. Thank you Academic Coordinators, You are the best!

Love LuCinda

Dear CHI Host Families,

I would like to thank you with all my heart for opening your heart and home to one or more of our students. It is wonderful to experience directly the culture, language and customs of the students within your home. Thank you, for making a difference in the lives of these young people. LuCinda :)

Dear CHI Host Families,

I would like to thank you with all my heart for opening your heart and home to one or more of our students. It is wonderful to experience directly the culture, language and customs of the students within your home.
We are now looking for Host families to host for the 2008/2009 school year and would love to have you hosts for us again, or if you know anyone who would enjoy the experience for themselves.
Below is our website so that you can look at the student’s profiles.
The Login is “guest0308”, password “guest0308”.

http://www.ayp.chinet.org/

Please put in the year “10” and filter. This will bring up the students that are available at that time, there are new students added daily.

We find that early placements help the students and host families gain a deeper bond to one another. I have been in contact with all of our schools within our territory and we have opening available to place students.

Again, thank you for your commitment toward wanting to understand different cultures and contributing to world peace.


Sincerely,
LuCinda Mountifield
