Exchange students from Spain need host families this summer
Amy St. Arnaud, Spanish teacher at NRHS, works with the company Holidays in America
to bring students from Vigo, Spain to North Reading. This will be t he third year the
program has run. Students come for 4 weeks and participated in a variety of sight-seeing and adventure activities.
Mikayla Sweeney, grade 10, hosted a 15-year old girl names Macarena and made
a life-long friend. She said, “ This summer was absolutely one of the best. Maca
fit right into my family and she had so much fun with all my friends. We got the
opportunity to do so many fun trips such as New Hampshire and Boston and did so
many different activities. I not only had one of my best summers with her, I also met
my best friend. I loved her so much and I recommend everyone to get an exchange
student because it will be an experience you won’t ever forget.” If you are interested
