How about hosting a foreign exchange student?
Amazing Host Families come in all shapes and sizes! Empty nesters? Large family? Single parent? Toddlers at home? Your family is probably everything an exchange student could ever ask for!
Tell me more about the students:
All of our high school students speak English and come from all over the world. You can select a student based on a specific interest, hobby, country or personality trait that would best fit your family. Every student has money for all of their personal expenses and has their own health insurance!
What is Required to be a Host Family?
Provide a bed
Provide three meals a day
Transportation to school (school bus counts!)
Pass a background check
Be at least 25 years old
and love them like your own!
What does a Host Family gain from this experience?
See the world through another lens
Know that you are making an incredible difference in the life of a young person.
Learn about new cuisines and try new recipes
Your family gains a new son or daughter for life
Your family might discover a new hobby or sport because of your exchange student
Sharing your culture and traditions is such a joy
Establish a life-long relationship!
In reality, there are too many reasons to list!

North Side students in grades 3-6 are completing advertisements for businesses around Union City to tie into our novel, "Rise of the Balloon Goons" by Troy Cummings. Mr. Cummings will be visiting North Side on Monday, February 24. Each group sent a representative to interview the business owner they will design an advertisement for to get ideas of what they should put in their advertisement. The self-standing advertisements will be on display at the the Randolph Eastern Book Fair Feb. 24-28 and then at their business location throughout March. North Side would like to send out a huge thank you to all the businesses for donating their time to sit down and talk with our students.
