A phone message will be sent next week to remind parents of the school based flu vaccination clinics. If you have any questions please call the school nurse, Sheila Story, at 283-1675.
HOST FAMILIES SOUGHT
Want to learn more about culture and customs in Europe? South America? Asia? Then host a Rotary Youth Exchange student. Each year, two or three students from different parts of the world are sponsored by the Rotary Clubs of Carson City and attend Carson High School.
Each student lives with two or three local families throughout their school year, spending three to five months with each family. If you are interested in hosting an interesting young adult from another country please contact Chas Macquarie of the Carson City Rotary Club at cmacquarie@lumosengineering.com.
