Join us as we dive into Lia’s journey, celebrate her achievements, and reflect on the profound impact of hosting an exchange student.
Learn more from Lia’s host mom about why she was nominated to be the September 2024 Student of the Month:
“Lia is such a wonderful and sweet girl who has made the perfect addition to our family. Lia has two host siblings who she already cares a great deal for and is always willing to jump in and play with or help them. As soon as she arrived to us, she jumped right in to all activities! She has really acclimated to American culture and is not afraid to try new things and experiences. She is on varsity soccer and has made many friends. She was also voted for homecoming court by her peers at school. Her teachers and principal have said wonderful things about her. She is in college American history and making good grades in all of her classes. When she is not at school or practice she is working hard on her studies! She is the perfect example of an excellent student!”
