Host Families Needed for Chinese Exchange Students
 

Dear Marshall Families,
 
We need only THREE more host families for the 2020 Chinese Exchange Program!   If you are interested in hosting an exchange student January 19th through February 5th please enroll at the Alpha Exchange homepage link below. 
 
How to Enroll?
Please use the following code to enroll on the Alpha Exchange  homepage
School Code: MARSHALL
Program Code: 102-MARSHALL-SDSZ
 
For each student hosted, families will receive a $800 stipend or $1,200 travel credit towards Marshall's next China trip in Spring 2021. This trip will cost $2,900 ($1,700 if you host in 2020) and highlights include 10 days of sightseeing in China's ancient capitals of Beijing and Xi'an, homestay with your exchange partners and attending a US-China Exchange summit with 200 high school students from across the US and China. As a host family, you will be responsible for providing food, accommodation and transport to/from school and some activities during the weekends.
 
Thank you!

Statesmen Shout Out

THANK YOU for your generous holiday spirit!  Due to your generosity, we were able to send an ample amount of food home with our food-insecure families, and to reach across our community and provide bags for students at Westgate Elementary as well! We appreciate all of our volunteers who came to pack the bags.  Many hands make light work!
