School Brief: Belgian exchange

Posted on March 20, 2008 by Staff

Thirty Belgian students and six chaperones will be staying with Chapel Hill and Carrboro families from March 22 to April 2 as part of a Smith Middle School international exchange program.

The students hosted Smith students last spring as part of the European Union grant that Smith Middle School received.

Because the visit coincides with Smith’s spring break, the group of Belgian students will travel with a group of 40 Smith students to Ocean Isle, where they will engage in a cultural seminar. In addition, the Belgian students will attend classes at Smith on March 31 and April 1.

This is the seventh exchange the school has enjoyed since its opening. Next March, Smith students will again travel to Lieges to stay with Belgian families. Anyone interested in helping fund this trip may contact Robin McMahon at rmcmahon@chccs.k12.nc.us or 918-2145, ext. 21425.
