2020-21 Academic Year Program Students Depart
Mid-June Ayane Nagakura from Japan, departed from her Shawnee County host family for the past semester, Matt and Stephanie Magill. At that time, Seorin Ryu departed from her school year-long host family in Walnut Creek District where she was hosted by the John and Crissy Payne family. A big “thank you” to these families who accepted and supported these students during the pandemic year. They demonstrated caring and flexibility during COVID -19, overcoming quarantines, family positives, student family crises and virtual everything! Thanks, too, to Candis Meerpohl in Shawnee County, Robyn Deines 4-H Youth Development Agent in Walnut Creek for serving as their local coordinators.
