See info about times and dates where this will be held this month at the end of the Monday Minute. The first meetings are being held this week. Thanks!
Silver Mesa Host Family Needed
We have the opportunity to have a Spanish Language and Culture Assistant at Silver Mesa for the upcoming 2023/24 school year. This individual will come from Spain to assist our students and needs somewhere to live. Hosting a Spanish Language and Culture Assistant gives you and your family the chance to learn about new cultures and create lasting friendships. It can be a highly rewarding opportunity for your family and a wonderful way to discover a different perspective than your own cultural understanding.
Host families need to provide a private room and meals for the assistant. Walking distance to the school is preferable.
Please let me know if you are interested in this incredible experience.
