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!

"Today in WFW, the Arts and Well-Being class had the pleasure of welcoming Mrs. Moore, a school counselor from Union City. Mrs. Moore shared insightful information about the importance of mental health, strategies for improving it, and how the arts can play a significant role in supporting mental well-being. We’re excited to continue building on the valuable lessons shared today as the class grows in both their artistic skills and their understanding of mental well-being." -Mrs. Marker
